fx 8320 at 4.3 ghz and gtx 970 still 45 fps dota 2

Terror_of_pain · Sep 14, 2015

i am getting low fps on dota 2 do not know the reason

fx 8320 at 4.3 ghz
deepcool lucifer
msi gaming gtx 970
8gb kingstoin hyper x
coolermaster thunder 500
asus m5a97 le r2.0

so should i just get intel 4790k with h81
or a nice mother board and psu for my fx 8320

If you do get a K processor(Unlocked) make sure you get a z97 chipset motherboard.

However, it sounds like you are having some other problem. Have you tried updating your graphic driver? Have you checked your cpu/gpu temps?

Terror_of_pain · Sep 14, 2015

i have 355.82 from nvidia for processor i am at 65-68 cel when gaming and norm 55 cel gpu at 45% load only and no thermal problem

andy_Man · Sep 14, 2015

I think your cpu might be throttling. That is high for that cpu.

Terror_of_pain · Sep 14, 2015

but i am checking loads never go down stable at 4.3 no drops or core disabling ///.

dudeman509 · Sep 14, 2015

Should be able to handle that game at much more than 45 FPS.

dudeman509 do you play dota2 whats your fps ??

andy_Man · Sep 14, 2015

Terror_of_pain :

Why don't you save your overclock setting, then try dota 2 at stock cpu settings. While watching temps.

dudeman509 · Sep 14, 2015

Terror_of_pain :

Have it, but haven't played in some time. I'll give it a shot tonight and let you know. I think the guy above me has some good advice.

GTX970 will get better frames with an intel 4690k.

Your board and PSU are also very poor.

Terror_of_pain · Sep 14, 2015

i can make only one upgrade for now either processor or psu and motherboard...

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 14, 2015

I would upgrade to an intel based setup , wait a little longer it will be worth it.

Terror_of_pain :

Turn down all of your settings. E.g. V-Sync, Anti Aliasing
Especially turn down the buffering settings

Terror_of_pain · Sep 14, 2015

v sync is off and and i tried aa no effect ..

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 14, 2015

970's run better when paired with intel.

dudeman509 · Sep 14, 2015

So, ignore the annoying plug for buying an Intel chip, as that is NOT your problem with this game and your current setup.

Make sure that your card is indeed in the x16 PCI-E slot on the motherboard - some 970 chipsets have on x16 and one x4 or x8 or something like that.

Make sure that VSync in the Nvidia control panel is turned OFF (wonder if it's limiting it there).

With all graphics settings turned on, I'm seeing 105-120 FPS on my FX-8320 at stock 3.5 GHz speeds.

Terror_of_pain · Sep 14, 2015

no drops .... i hav normaly 66 and 46 fps

andy_Man · Sep 14, 2015

dudeman509 :

I agree, you should be getting more fps with your current setup.
Have you tried your cpu at stock ? I still wonder if it's getting too hot.
Is your driver trying dynamic super resolution? http://www.pcgamer.com/nvidias-dynamic-super-resolution-is-downsampling-made-easy/
That would be a huge performance hit.
Make sure vsync is off like others said.

Terror_of_pain · Sep 15, 2015

i tried cpu at stock with bios as default still no help....

dudeman509 · Sep 15, 2015

Just to confirm - your GPU is in the *blue* PCI-E slot nearest the CPU end of the board?

Have you tried completely uninstalling + reinstalling Nvidia drivers?

Does your system have strangely high CPU usage at idle?

I really doubt that VRM's are throttling at FX-8320 stock speeds, but you could try pointing a big fan at the inside of the computer with the side off and see if it makes any difference at all.

Just trying to figure out why there is such a huge discrepancy between the speeds on my almost identical build and yours, with the only real difference being the motherboard.

Cryio · Sep 15, 2015

1) Make a profile for Dota 2 and set maximum performance in Nvidia Control Panel
2) Set Power Options in Windows to Maximum Performance for the CPU to be used at maximum performance
3) When you start Dota 2, only at the start, but EVERY time, check for core parking issues so that the game will be able to run on all 8 CPU threads. This goes for every game ever.

madmatt30 · Sep 15, 2015

I seriously doubt your 8320 is stable at 4.3ghz on an le board mate - in fact I'm entirely confident it isn't as I've seen that board throttle badly at stock speeds.

Terror_of_pain · Sep 15, 2015

i have a deepcoole lucifer with three fans on it maybe thats why its ok at 4.3 and i find some people say its reborn update which is not optimize before reborn i was at 90-110

Terror_of_pain · Sep 15, 2015

my cpu is ideal with at least 34 present load and whats core parking ???

madmatt30 · Sep 15, 2015

^ you're misunderstanding - I know the Lucifer , its a top cooler & I'm sure your CPU temps are great .
Its the board temps that I'm talking about & the Lucifer will not help with those.

Do a prime95 test with amd overdrive CPU status tab onscreen & I'm sure you'll see your clocks bouncing all over the place.

fx 8320 at 4.3 ghz and gtx 970 still 45 fps dota 2
