GTX 680 low FPS

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

Hi, I've recently bought an EVGA geforce gtx680 2gb superclocked. With certain games like Skyrim my fps drop to below 40 fps.
System:
CPU: i7930 2.8 ghz
GPU: EVGA geforce gtx680 2gb superclocked
memory : 8gb 1333mhz
HDD: 1 tb
PSU: 720 watt
motherboard: Intel DX58SO

Could it be that my CPU is bottlenecking with GPU? If so, will it help to overclock my CPU?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies.

I'm playing on 1920 x 1080. I am getting good fps, but when I am standing on the highest point of Whiterun and I am looking over Whiterun, the fps drop to 40 or below. I've also tested it on Assassin's Creed Revelations and I am having the same problem when looking over the city from the rooftops. I am getting good fps in Saints Row 3, but again when I am looking over the city or when there is a lot of objects in my field of view, then the fps drop to around 40. Battlefield 3 - no problem, getting 60 fps +.

Thank you

Your CPU is holding the performance back(most noticeable in AC/SR3 clouded places)
So upgrading it would give you a notable boost in performance but if you can't upgrade,there is nothing to worry about. 30+ FPS is easily playable

I tend to agree with Maziar.I don't have Assassin's Creed so i can not test it.I have BF3 i never dip that low lowest it goes on me is around 50fps with a single MSI 670 PE 1920 x 1080 so it's your cpu imo.
