Hi guys.
My pc parts: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/MjtV3F
This is my 1st post on this forum. Very glad I joined.
Some of the oldest parts of my rig were bought at the end of 2013 (the PSU, Motherboard, Processor and one of the monitors). Over the years I have been upgrading each part that I have thought convenient.
Recently I bought a 4k monitor along with 2 x Nvidia GTX 970's thinking they could power this beast of a monitor.
Well to make myself short, these days I play Tom Clancy's The Division and these are my issues:
First, the game cannot be run at native monitor resolution (3840x2160). I tried using my second monitor which only runs on 2560x1600 and frame rates went up considerably with everything on high (not ultra). I accepted the suggestion of the Nvidia Experience App and lowered the resolution to 2560x1440 with settings on High but frame rates never went up from 40, in occasions dropping to 25-30.
At last, I lowered the resolution to 1920x1080 and the following settings where the ones that made me accomplish 50-60fps:
Ambient oclusion: Medium
Anisotropic Filtering: 16x
Contact shadows: All high
Depth of field: medium
Display mode: full-screen
Enable wind-affected snow: yes
Extra streaming distance: 50%
Local reflection quality: medium
Object detail: 60%
Parallax mapping: low
Particle detail: high
Post fx AA: SMAA 1x low
Reflection quality: medium
Resolution: 1920x1080
Shadow Quality: high
Shadow resolution: medium
Spot Shadow Count: medium
Spot shadow resolution: medium
Sub-surface Scattering: yes
Temporal AA: supersampling
Volumetric Fog: Medium
As you can see, these are really poor settings which barely run the game at 50-60 fps. Imagine after spending a bunch of money into my PC it performs poorly with the games I want to play. Not to mention that these settings make the game run really crappy, beginning with the fact that this is not the monitors native resolution.
I have thought about changing my monitor to a 1900xx resolution one =(
I have thought about changing my motherboard, ram and processor altogether
I have thought about changing from PC to PS4 or Xbox (I just hate controllers for FPS or TPS)
Also may I mention, BIOS is stock. I have not changed anything for RAM timing (which I know nothing of. One time I tried and the computer stopped booting, even though I was inputting the correct timings and frequency). Nvidia options are stock, the only thing I changed is the Sli configuration option in which i have it set to Maximize 3D performance. PhysX settings are auto-select.
Please help! Thanks in advance for your time and diligence.
