Let me start by saying hello! I am an expecting father on a budget and managed to put together a decent gaming rig right before we found out the news. Now that im not spending my spare time in bars drinking cheap beer ive got plenty of time to game So lets jump into the issues im having.
The Issue: The machine runs great during casual use (browsing web / running cleaning software/ photoshop / ) But I have noticed that I get pretty terrible FPS in alot of games that I should be at the very least doing pretty well in, in example CS:GO at higher settings, Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2 and more recently The Divison
CS:GO Higher Settings = 30-60 FPS
Diablo 3 High Settings = 60-70 FPS
The Division = 50-60 FPS ( Lots of Stuttering as well )
I do have all of my drivers updated, and I even went as far as learning a little bit about over-clocking and OC'd my CPU to see if that was bottlenecking my GPU ( It did increase my benchmarks on 3D Mark but no FPS increase )
Below im going to include SS's of my hardware through various programs to show temps/clock speeds
AMD FX-8350 OC'd to 4.5 ish
Sapphire R9 390 Nitro
Speccy Sys Info
& CX850M 850W PSU
I also have 2 x 120mm case fans & a 212 Hyper Evo cooler ontop of the FX-8350 which keeps it pretty cool in my case.
Side note Everything in the build is new straight from newegg, EXCEPT the old 5400RPM HD which will soon be replaced with a SSD ( as long as my preggy permits it lol )
Could the old HD possibly be bottlenecking my FPS?
If anyone has any idea of what is going on here please help me out! Thank you in advance.
