my processor is a i7 960 (3.2ghz), i have 12 gigs of ram, motherboard is a evga x58 ftw3, power supply is 800w and the harddrive is 7200rpm 32mb cache 1 tb.
I just built this computer, installed windows, got the geforce drivers set up and now some games have much lower framerate than they should. (starcraft 2 for example has 40-10 fps on ultra, and the benchmark setting that iv looked up says it should be at 200, and i have sli cards, the benchmark used one), and tf2 runs just as slowly as starcraft 2 (borderlands also runs slowly) . However, avp runs perfectly well with 60 fps (the cap for the game), on the maximum settings in dx11 mode.
I have also tried each card individually to see if it was the psu, but the framerate issue persisted.
The cards are definetly set for sli, and i doubt my issue is the psu due to the fact that individual cards didnt run better. The drivers for the card are the newest, but i also tried the older drivers that came with them and those drivers didnt effect it either.
By now im thinking something may be messed up the cpu, as iv heard sc2 puts alot of its power on the cpu.
Can anyone help? this is driving me crazy as i poured all my savings into the system and cant afford to give up
