Hello everyone. Recently I've upgraded my intel dq45cb motherboard to a gigabyte ga-eg43-ds2h. I had the intel board running with 8gb of ram but had to use 4gb since my new board didn't support 8gb which didn't bother me at all.
The main reason I upgraded was because I thought my q6600 at stock was bottlenecking my sapphire 7950. However to my surprise overclocking my cpu with my new motherboard to 3.0 ghz hasn't improved in any way.
In Tomb Raider I had frequent drops all the way down to 24 fps in many parts of the game. In Metro 2033 redux and Metro last light redux I was also experiencing very frequent drops even on the lowest settings. Fallout 4 ran at an unstable 30 fps even on the lowest settings.
I want to know what is holding my system back. Has anyone else experienced something like this before. I thought my system would be maxing out games at 1080p from what I saw from Linus Tech Tips first season of scrapyard wars. Somebody please help me.
Here is the list of all my specifications: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JxHKzy
