Getting low fps in games with my gtx 670

[PanicMaster85]

I expected WAY more than 40(some times even below 30)-70fps in crysis2... I payed 400$ for a graphics card that i heard played crysis2 at nothing below 60... Im really confused please help me figure it out, also i get 30-60 in bf3 even when i hear your supposed to get 50-70

what resolution

 

[redeemer]

$400 you paid too much, anyways a 670 is not enough to max out modern games with solid 60 fps anyways. What resolurions are we talking about btw?

 

[bigcyco1]

what resolution ? I can play all the games i own on ultra except two or three and get average 60 fps with one of my cards @1920 x 1080

 

[neon neophyte]

you have two 670s =P

 

[PanicMaster85]

1920x1080 :/ its really starting to piss me off because i just got this, and I really expected a lot more

FYI: im thinking it may be a cpu bottleneck

 

[neon neophyte]

well you should definately be getting more fps than that...

that would be pretty disappointing if that cpu is bottle necking. 4.7ghz and all. ill be back, off to look at some benchmarks with that cpu in particular.

 

[bigcyco1]

you have two 670s =P

Yeah i meant with one of my cards i get that

that is with a better card, and the cpu overclocked higher. look familiar though?

 

[PanicMaster85]

ugh is my card defective
OK screw it im overclocking it too 4.8 and ill report back on what happens

P.S. I reset my cpu to default and when I played it my game crashed :/ this computer is being screwy right now

 

[PanicMaster85]

ok so the best i could get was 4.7(btw I had it at 4.5 before) and now where I was getting like 30fps im now getting 40-50 which is good but REALLY? I mean I think it should be a lot better

P.S. im on the missioin roadrage in the subway, i get the worst lag spike when i go and look at the people talk by the heli(sorry if you never played just saying)

yeah its basically the same that i get in bf3(it really should be higher) also i have mine clocked at 1241 is it near the same speed as that 680?

UGH! did i waste my money for an upgrade(from the hd 6850) that was not even that great... also do you think I would get better fps if i get the i5-3570k?

 

[neon neophyte]

a 3570k would probably do better, yes. not sure about in bf but in other games it would

 

[bigcyco1]

You see that just one card it's your cpu for sure.

 

[redeemer]

Yeah i meant with one of my cards i get that

Solid 60fps in BF3 on Ultra settings 4X MSAA MP?? I guess you have the magic edition 670!

Crysis 2
BF3
Arkham city


Are just a few of the games that won't run solid 60fps @ highest setting 1080p.

 

[PanicMaster85]

did you have it at max settings?

also i cant get mine to oc that far how you get yours so far?

I get like 1241 all maxed

What drivers are you using btw? You would definitely benefit to a Piledriver 8350 upgrade, but your current CPU is clocked quite high already. Have you updated you MB bios, what is your GPU utilization during game play?

 

[PanicMaster85]

also what are the settings in your afterburner? I cant read it

Just ran two tests with one 670 PE BF3 Average 59.33FPS but i am getting in Crysis 2 Average 53.66fps

 

[PanicMaster85]

hmm thats wierd :/ also do your drivers fail or do you get artifacts when you oc to high?

 

[bigcyco1]

LOL!Your right about Arkham city just ran test one 670 PE MIN. 28 MAX 81 AVERAGE 56

 

[bigcyco1]

Drivers fail ? No artifacts when you oc to high yes

 

[PanicMaster85]

? yeah my drivers fail... like the screen goes black and it says that the drivers could not keep up :/
