Pc not running games higher than 20-40fps

Zarki · Nov 4, 2015

Hello everyone, first off I want to say I am a noob at this. The question I need help answering is weather or not I need a new processor, because the games(MMO's) I run can never get over 20-40fps. My main game is Guild Wars 2 and I only get around 20-40 fps in starting zones.

My specs are:
CPU: AMD Fx 6300 6 core 3.50
Memory: 1TB
Video Card: Sapphire dual-x R9270x
MotherBoard: MSI 970A-G43

That FX-6300 and R9-270X should be fine with that game. Most any game. At 1080p or below. Try this first...
Look in your tray and see how many things are running in the background when Win starts. Disable or uninstall as many as possible. You can run them on an as-needed basis. Everything running in the background is stealing clock cycles.
Then run CCleaner and do the Clean and Registry portions both. Registry errors, software conflicts, and other resource-wasting crap may be slowing you down. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download
And be sure you gfx card is in the first PCIe x16 slot. The 2nd one is only x4 lanes.

I have only GW2 installed on this pc, and have had the pc cleaned of dust and unnecessary files. There is only Razer Synapse and MSI after burn open in the background.

Zarki :

Those might be the culprits. Try with them off. I'd still do the CCleaner thing.
You are only going to be able to upgrade to the FX-86xx line if you want to try 8 cores instead of 6. I guess some MMOs can be demanding on a busy server with the FX-6300. I have a FX-6350 @ 4.7 GHz, but don't play MMOs. But it has never been lagging like that. Have you tried OC'ing the CPU?

I will turn them off. I did some research and they say that GW2 doesn't run well or isnt optimized well for AMD users or something in that nature. I was also wondering if the build I have is bottlenecking in anyway

I was also wondering if the problem is the CPU what intel cpu would go best with the spec I have.

Check that your parts aren't thermal throttling. Download Speccy and monitor your temps. When was the last time you cleaned your PC?

Zarki · Nov 4, 2015

I cleaned it of dust in the last 24 hours.

Zarki · Nov 4, 2015

I checked the temp with speecy, theses are the temps in idle:
CPU- 22C
MotherBoard- 43C
Graphics- 33C
Storage- 34C

Use AMD Overdrive to check the thermal margins at full load (they have to be at least 10°C). Also ensure the CPU runs at its rated speed and not only at 1.4 GHz because it throttles.

Zarki · Nov 4, 2015

what would be a good temp for my cpu to be at when at full speed and what would be to high?

Zarki :

It can't be accurately measured; that's why AMD Overdrive is provided to check the thermal margins. At 0°C the CPU throttles; less than 0°C indicates a very serious cooling issue.
