Hello!
During games like The Culling im getting low fps, like 20. I already set all graphic settings to the lowest amount possible. And when I was checking the performance with task manager while playing The Culling (with Skype running in the background) I saw my CPU was constantly between 80 and 100% which result to framerate drops.
I know I can overclock my CPU but I don't know how to do it and how far I can go.
And what would be a wiser decision, overclocking or upgrading?
These are my specs:
- Intel Core i5-3570K CPU
- AMD XFX Radeon HD 7870 Double Dissipation GPU
- XFX Pro550W Core Edition PSU (80 Plus Bronze)
- ASRock Z77 Pro3 Motherboard
- Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB (C drive)
- Samsung HE103UJ 1TB (D drive)
- Ethernet Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller
- Medium Tower Case
- 1 Extra fan cooler on the backside
- 2x AG Neovo L-W24 monitors
I don't know anything about overclocking so please keep that in mind
Thanks in advance!
