I get low fps on GTX 970 and AMD FX-6300 3.5ghz

Hi,

I would suggest to test your graphic card, as things sold at ebay can have problems! For example I bought RAMs from ebay but to make sure that they had no issues I ran many tests with different softwares. As second thought not sure if this is the issue as I have sometimes random fps drop on a new GPU check the temp of the GPU while playing.

On the other had we have experts in this forum which I think will reply and give you the right answer!

Regards,

did you remove all the old drivers before you installed the new card ?

what exact version of windows do you have?

uninstall the drivers with DDU

with that processor you should be getting ~40 fps with drops in gta5 high settings 1080p



also do you monitor cpu temps?

Oc your CPU. Your Fps on a Non OCed 6300 is very normal.

fx 6300 OCed to 4.7 and 970

How can you say 25 fps is normal for an FX 6300 at low in GTA 5? I own the FX 6300 at stock + R7 260X and I get 45-50 fps at high...

Ok this may sound odd but try it. Turn the game detail up to high and tell us what happens. Do your fps stay the same, drop or even improve?

What are the CPU and gpu temps in game and are any of the cores hitting 100%?

In the video above he has his 6300 OCed to 4.7GHZ and is getting 45-58FPS. Only other thing I would check is if CPU is throttling because of VRM's overheating. So run prime 95 for 20 minutes and see if your CPU is throttling. But I would say getting dips in GTAV is normal with a stock 6300.


"I recently upgraded my GPU from a R9 270 to a GTX 970. I immediately noticed a huge improvement, but I still get these random performance issues at times. For example, If I'm driving max speed in the city then things will get pretty choppy...but then it will "catch up" real fast after slowing down and the FPS will jump up significantly.

It doesn't really feel like an FPS lag, just choppy at times
It's not my internet, I have fast internet and these issues happen in story mode as well
The lag/choppy issues happen even if my graphics settings are turned down to Low
It's not constant, rather sporadic, but annoying as hell

Specs: AMD FX 6300 | GTX 970 | 8GB Ram | 144hz monitor at 1920x1080

So this has to be my processor, right? I want to make sure before purchasing a new one. Also, recommendations on a CPU are welcome.

Thanks guys

I think it's time for a new CPU"


"Hi guys,

First of all I'm sorry, if this has already been asked/answered on some other thread on these Forums. I really need some help and advice from you all, regarding upgrading my CPU, as I'm a total noob when it comes to all this.

Anyways, my main problem is that I'm getting frequent Stutter/FPS drops on many games like FAR CRY 4, AC: Unity, RYSE: Son Of Rome, Watch Dogs, Crysis 3, Far Cry 3, AC: Black Flag, Dead Rising 3 etc., and few more games (both old and new). I game on 1080p.

My current CPU is AMD FX-6300 (6 cores), and I'm using GTX 970 with it. Is my CPU a great BOTTLENECK for my system and GPU ?

My rig:

OS: Windows 7 64 bit.
Mobo: ASUS M5A97 R2.0.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz.
CPU: AMD FX-6300 (overclocked to 4.0 GHZ)
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120XL.
GPU: ZOTAC GTX 970 (GeForce 347.52 WHQL).
Monitor: AOC E2262VWH, Resolution 1920x1080.

All my drivers are updated, and I don't have any background processes running while Gaming. The only problem is that my GPU never uses more than ~3.2-3.3 of VRAM, no matter how HIGH settings I use while Gaming (Soft Shadows, HBAO+, AA, DSR etc.).

Well I'm aware of this recent GTX 970 VRam issue, but do you think my current CPU would be causing this constant Stutter/FPS drops while Gaming, as I'm only on 1080p ?

Should I Upgrade my CPU to an AMD FX-8350 (8 cores), as that's my only feasible option left, based on my 'tight' budget. Will it give me a performance gain in latest games like FAR CRY 4 ?

I've read many reviews on the web, stating that INTEL CPUs perform much better than AMD, but they are VERY expensive in my Country. But despite that, should I upgrade to an i5 4690k (a true Quad core) ?? Will this be a huge improvement from my current FX 6300 ??

Any help/guidance would be appreciated. To be honest, even I'm NOT that much happy with my GTX 970 performance either. Not complaining though, as it could also be my CPU ??

Thanks in Advance."
