ANY ADDITIONAL INFO THAT I FORGOT TO ADD, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL INCLUDE IT.
First things first:
i7 930 @ 2.8 GHz
EVGA GTX 680 4bg FTW
8gb RAM
Corsair HX750
(Dell OEM motherboard)
Res: 1920x1080
Toshiba 40" 60Hz 1080p TV hooked up via HDMI
I have tried adjusting resolutions and settings in all games that are having problems.
I am getting a very jump fps that goes back and forth between 25-50 anywhere I go. The only time I get 60 is out in the middle of a field with nothing around. If I spin the camera it drops to 55, if I go near any buildings or a town it plummets to 25-40.
In wow I get 55-60 FPS in Orgrimmar on ultra settings but won't stay stable.
In Battlefield: Bad Company 2 it seems to be fine staying locked at 59-60 majority of the time.
In Need for Speed: Hot pursuit it stays locked 59-60. This and BF:BC2 are fairly old and barely intensive at all games so I' doubt they're much of a test.
On Tera I get 30-50 FPS depending on settings, but even on lowest settings I can't get 60.
At first I thought it might be the card, but I swapped in my old 5770 and still couldn't do any better on any settings. I have tried doing several different drivers, with and without driver cleaning between installs. I've tried adjusting all settings in the nVidia control panel. I've tried OC'ing the GPU, I would try OC'ing the CPU but the BIOS doesn't have the option because it's the OEM board. I have tried everything I can think of and have had 2 friends who are very good with computers (one who is an engineer) but they have told me everything they can think to try so I've brought the question to you guys. I used to get low FPS with my 5770 but I just thought it was because the card wasn't that great. Now that I bought my GTX 680 and see no improvement, I realize that there is some underlying problem. Please let me know if you can think of anything that may be the cause of this.
I would be extremely grateful to anybody who can even diagnose the problem.
!!! EDIT !!!
Just downloaded Arkham City and Sleeping Dogs demos from Steam to try and get a bit more testing in. Here are the results.
All settings cranked up in AC except AA which I left at "FXAA(HIGH)" and PhysX which I left at "Normal" The rest I believe was cranked to maximum. FPS seemed to stay at 60 majority of the time and only dipped when I spun the camera really fast (at which point it would dip usually to mid 50's but occasionally to 48ish.
On SD I turned all settings up again except I think 1 or 2? I left Ambient Occlusion on normal. I was getting 58-60 constantly with jumps to 61-62 occasionally (with vcync on and a 60hz refresh rate). It only dipped to about 55 or so once that I noticed.
