Wanting to build a new computer with the 4970k and finally drop my 2500k because it seems to be slacking these days. I know the 4970k isn't much of a performance upgrade from a 2500k for gaming, but I'm convinced something's wrong with my current computer, yet I can't figure out what it could be.
I play alot of MMO games and get less than ideal performance for the situation. So when I went to investigate I found that my CPU and GPU are both around 50% load with good temperatures, yet I'm only hitting around 40 fps. Example: http://i.imgur.com/i5JFcPx.jpg
All cores are around 40%, as well as my GPU, both with good temps BUT my game is running very poorly. This is the case for other, more modern MMOs.
I'm running:
Intel i5 2500k 3.3GHz (stock and overclock have the same results)
EVGA GTX 780 SC ACX
Asus P8Z68-V PRO Motherboard
Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600
Seagate Barracuda 750GB 3.5" 7200RPM
Corsair Enthusiast 650W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V / EPS12V
Microsoft Windows 7 Home
Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor (1920x1080)
NVIDIA 358.91 Driver
