What's Wrong With My Tech Specification?

[Guest]

Hello!
sorry about my bad english.
before a few months, I bought a new computer:

Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

Intel I5 760
Ati 5770 1GB (Gigabyte)
Msi P55A-G55
4 GB ram ddr3

Hard drive - WD 500GB Sata 2
Case - NZXT Lexa S (4 big fans)




Since I bought the computer, games running pretty slow,
I think that all the OS slow..

I am cleaning and run the defragment and the other os tools,
removing: temp, %temp%, prefetch folders, msconfig.
I scanned with different anti viruses, I also without anti virus now..

it's from the first day thet I bought the computer,
even with slow settings the games running slow.

in youtube I have seen games are running in 60 fps with specs like my.


How do I know exactly which component slowing down my computer?

Well your 5770 is a mid-range card with a 128bit. Just set your game atleast medium setting to get a good frame rates on games and no anti-aliasing.

 

[Herr_Koos]

What resolution are you playing at? And what power supply do you have?

 

[Guest]

my monitor is 1080, but I am plaing on low resolution.

power supply is hec 550w.

I also tried to enable and unable GPU and CPU overclocking.

installing win7 64 bit and upgrade the memory to 6 ram will solve this?

thank you all!!

The card is not for Full HD... that is my opinion...

He says that he's not actually playing at 1080, if you read his previous post.

Try playing at the proper resolution. Low resolution means the CPU is doing most of the work, not the GPU. This is not ideal for most newer games.

Also, can you verify that your CPU and GPU go up to their full clock speed while gaming? Use system monitor tools like CPU-Z and GPU-Z to check. If it appears that they remain at idle instead of going to full speed, check your Windows power settings to make sure that it is set to the "Balanced" profile and not "Power Saver".

what are your temps cpu and gpu, my first thought is thermal throttling of the cpu due to a poor pushpin HSF installation.

Agreed, also possible. Use CPUID HWMonitor, it's a very useful tool to check your system temperatures.

 

[13thmonkey]

good tool am liking that a lot

 

[Guest]

after 20 minutes of playing call of duty black ops(in full settings), my temps is:

my case is NZXT Lexa S, and even now after the game, my case is cold like ice.

so it's ram problem?

 

[Herr_Koos]

Temps look perfectly normal. And no, I don't think it's a RAM problem. 4GB should be enough for just about any modern game.

Did you check CPU and GPU clock speeds like I suggested?

 

[Guest]

yes I checked,
I tried Without OC, With high OC, low OC, med OC, OC just for CPU, OC just for GPU...

There have a software to check what slowing down my pc?
like 3D mark, but saying what the problem?

 

[13thmonkey]

nothing I know of software wise.

Did you install the chipset drivers etc., can you use CPU-Z and GPU-Z and post images of all tabs. That'll tell us a lot.

Here GPU-Z:

And CPU-Z:

[13thmonkey]

there appears to be nothing wrong withany of that, I was thinking perhaps PCI-e defaulting to x1 but there's no news there that helps me. I'll have to think about it.

Are there any other specific symptoms that you can help us with?

 

[Herr_Koos]

Here GPU-Z:

Good. Now, set GPU-Z to measure maximum instead of current value, launch a game or two, play for a while, and then see what it reports.

I think that windows (7) is pretty slow than the expected.

3D mark 11 show me very very low fps:
full settings: 5 fps
low settings: 20 fps

call of duty black ops warned me about shader. I think crysis warned me too.

all my driver are installed and they are updated.

 

[Herr_Koos]

Have you checked the Power settings like I suggested? Check what happens to CPU and GPU clocks when you put the system under load.

 

[13thmonkey]

are the secondary power leads plugged into the GPU and the mobo? Just a thought?

 

[Guest]

they on balance profile

how can I check it?

 

[BeCoolBro]

Put it on full power,balanced keeps the cpu at a lower clock speed by lowering the cpu multiplier.

For the power leads,if your motherboard is like mine,there will be a 6 pin plug where you have to connect a six pin connector from the psu and your gpu will have 1 or 2 six pin connectors on the side or top depending on the design of your 5770.

 

[Herr_Koos]

The Balanced profile will allow the CPU to go up to full speed if required. Power Saving will keep it permanently clocked down.

 

[Guest]

It was on high perfomance, I forgot for second what the transolation of balance..

I am still don't understend what I am looking for..
here is a good picture of my motherboard:

[Guest]

there is cables from the power suply to motherboard and cables from the power suply to GPU.

you ment that the GPU connected to the power suply through the motheboard??
