I've been using MSI Afterburner to tweak my GFX settings on my MSI Geforce GTX 750 Ti. I'm wondering if the card a bottleneck in my system. I can play games such as Black Ops 3 on 100% res, but I have to turn everything to low. When on low I can maintain a steady 60 FPS, but when I turn the settings up it bounces all over the place. Below is my setup:
MSI 970 Gaming AMD3+ mobo
AMD FX-8350 Vishera 8 core CPU
MSI Geforce GTX 750Ti 2Gb
2x 8Gb G.Skill Ripjaws X 1866 RAM
Rosewill-Quark 750 W PSU
LEPA LPWAC240-HF AquaChanger 240 Liquid CPU Cooler 240mm (dual top-mounted radiator)
I've tweaked the CPU up to 4.2, and used MSI Afterburner to try and OC my GFX card. Since I have 2 monitors, I have my left monitor active for gaming, and the right is typically used to monitor my GPU temp, GPU usage and CPU1 temp. I also use both monitors for work, but when gaming that's typically what the 2nd monitor is for. And I've noticed a trend. Whenever I game, I see the GPU usage spike to 100%, the GPU temp go up to...well around 45-50C and at 100% usage. Which I know isn't the worst, but I like to try to stay below 60C. The interesting part is that I really don't see the CPU temp go above 20C on average. I know I don't know a lot about overclocking, but I found a guide on here awhile back and tried to follow it using Heaven Benchmarking. I got the core clock up to +200, but as soon as I started messing around even more, the FPS crashes to 1-3 and I'm forced to reboot. When I mess with the core voltage, the whole system doesn't seem to want to work.
When I play games like Black Ops 3, I can turn the res to 100%, but I have to keep everything at 'Low' or 'Off' otherwise it caps at 30, and sometimes it can't even keep up with that. Other games like Dying Light seem to be fine.
I'm wondering if I picked a good system, just a ****ty GFX card. I'm not an AMD fanboy by any means, it just seemed to fit really well together. Please ask for me to run any tests. I also have 3dmark, but the results aren't exactly in plain english.
