I've noticed that I don't get the FPS that I think I should be getting, in Borderlands 2 my fps drops below 30 in some areas, same with WoW. I reset my computer to it's factory default thinking this may sort out some things, but still this issue persisted.
My Graphics card is a Radeon 6950 Sapphire, 2gb, "Overclocked Edition"
I run in 1680x1050 resolution.
Windows 7 Home Premium is my OS
My CPU is a AMD Athlon II X4 635 Processor 2.9 GHz
64_Bit Operating System
My PSU is 600 watts
My computer has 6GB of RAM.
My Drivers are up-to-date.
Closing all background programs has little to no effect to framerate.
My computer has hardly anything on it at the moment, since I just formatted it. Does anyone have some ideas as to what is causing this, shouldn't I be getting more fps? Even overlooking some Pandarian areas in WoW I will get down to 50fps at times, I know that's high, but I feel that I should be getting much more. I have a friend in my guild who has a same series Graphics card as me, and a dual core processor, yet after the patch 5.0.4 in WoW he is now getting 100+ fps, what caused this, what changed so drastically in wow, and what is wrong with my computer? I've been looking for a computer expert that is within driving range of me, but no luck there, so I decided to post this here, won't even consider taking it to best buy, that's like telling a car salesman that you've never bought a car before and that you'd like to get a good price for one.
Please keep in mind that I am not as experienced as you probably are in this.
