Gtx 970 Not Performing as it should

snowboardx13 · Feb 8, 2016

I have a gtx 970 4gb, an i5 4690k, and 8 gigs of ram. I'm trying to run star citizen, and according to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzOJYiQUw8Y (he has pretty similar specs) i should be getting at least 60 fps on what looks to be high settings. Currently I can barely get 30-40 fps on lowest settings, what the heck is up with my computer? (Drivers are up to date btw)

Don't trust star citizen, that thing isn't really made to work properly.

If you think your system might not be running at 100%, try going to the 3dmark website and downloading their benchmarks. You can then compare it to regular reviews and see if the card is working.

I don't care about the "vid" and neither should you

Just because someone has a video of something doesn't mean it's real, truthful, and possible on your system. First figure out if your system is working properly, and only after that should you consider seeing if you can match someone else's performance.

This might help: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/3wpoza/star_citizen_alpha_2x_performance_and_you/

That might not apply since being alpha (just noticed) but could relate.

Ｔｈｉｓ　is exactly why I told him star citizen is not a valid test for his system. Maybe when a proper developer and publishing house buy it out (Better than WB as it stands after the AK mess though) it will have better stability, but right now it's not a valid benchmark.

Oh i didn't know it was still in alpha thought that link was from long ago. I agree, not an ideal test.

have you tried any other high GPU demand game(e.g:- witcher 3 or a bit older one like crysis 3) just to see whether your card is performing as per expectations?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m5a8Al_p6U he has similar specs as well but can run it at very high, i can only run it at high tho so idk (usually the same fps for high)

Again... WHAT ARE YOUR 3DMARK SCORES?

Answer that and maybe we can see if the problem is with your card or you.
