Well just today I installed a GTX 960 as an upgrade from my GTX 650ti Boost, well everything installed fine both physically and also driver werr installed right with clean install. But I am confused in performance , I am getting 40-55 fps on avg on Crysis 3 at 1080p on very high settings and 0XAA, max fps which I get is around 72fps. But averages around 40-64fps, and in sone scene dips to 35fps. So I wanna ask is this normal? Or is my gpu being bottlenecked by my old cpu i5-2500K and motherboard I had no choice and shop had given me a very bad mobo DH61WW but well it works well. And ram is enough I guess 16gig. So is my gpu getting bottlenecked? Well I cant find the diff between my 650ti boost and 960. Pls help me. Well if CPU and mobo is the issue then I cant change it now, maybe can change it in October.

Hello... Crysis has always been a GPU demanding game, and will bring graphic cards to it's knees... here is a general GPU performance chart http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

ManuMitra,
You theory on if the cpu and the motherboard can or would be the cause to why you are not getting the expected
performance increase from a GTX 650 Ti card to a GTX 960 card is most likely correct.
As you know the cpu can in a lot of respect, and its age reflect upont the frame rates you see in games even when a new or higher model range of graphics card is installed.
But the motherboard and how old it is, and the chip set the motherboard has also on it will greatly effect how well the graphics card will run and perform.
So your right in thinking, both are the problem, and likely replacing the system with a better or more newer version of cpu and motherboard would improve things.
The limiting factor points of the motherboard will be down to the Pci-e express speed the Pci-e card slot on the board can run at say Pci-e 2.0 as a maximum.
As a GTX 960 card will run and likely favour a Pci-e card slot running at 3.0 specification for better bandwidth speeds.
A 2.0 specification Pci-e may be holding the card back in it`s full potential.
And I dare say so is the older Intel 2500K cpu.
You should probably check just out of intrest to see what specification the Pci-e card slot of the motherboard does run at 2.0 or 3.0 and if the maximum speed or data lanes of the slot are at x16 mode or lower like x8 mode as it will effect the performance and frame rate results in games ManuMitra.

Shaun thanks for the explanation, well the PCIE slot on my mobo is x16 2.0 , thus as we all know it shouldnt be an issue coz diff between 2.0 and 3.0 is minor I guess. But yes cpu is a cause although I have seen ppl run 2500K still now and getting great results. But still I will change it in october. So till October ,it will hold good till October right?

Hello... Here is some older GPU test chart by TH... http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2013-vga-gpgpu/07-Crysis-2-DirectX-11-C-Extreme,2951.html
I feel your CPU and GPU is running normal with this game.
