Hi everyone - I did my best to read any A10-6800k threads to see if i'm double-posting, and I hope I'm not.
Ok, I've built a PC, and it seems to be under-performing for a lot of games.
Here is my whole build: My Build
Here are some specific examples of my issues:
1) I cannot run Witcher 3 on 60fps, when it seems like I should be able to no problem.
2) I was recently playing overwatch whilst downloading a new game from Steam, and I was getting FPS drops. I checked temps, everything around 50, but when I checked loads, my GPU was running at 28%, and my CPU was at 100%
This is not limited to these instances, I just have confirmation that my computer is just not achieving what it should.
The reason I know this for sure is that I have a close friend that I game / build with, and he runs:
CPU: I7 870
GPU: Same as myself
RAM: Same as myself
SSD: Same as myself
When I run into these issues, he and I confirm that it is something with my setup that is slowing me down - because he can run Witcher 3 at 60fps no problem, he achieves higher benchmarks than I do on most programs that benchmark.
We have even gone through the hassle of setting our games to the EXACT same settings. Making sure that each one is exact - and he achieves at least 10-15fps higher than I with a lesser CPU load than I do, almost always.
We've gone beyond our expertise, so I'm hoping that smarter people here can help me.
Please help me figure out whats going on?Removed, this isn't allowed here
