New Rig s-l-o-w-e-r than my old one...HELP!

[MKVoyce]

I bought a new rig and for some reason I can only play my games at standard graphic settings or lower. When I bought it, the site said that I would be able to play games at a MAX or High setting. Do I need to do an upgrade to this new rig already? I'll put a list of items in it below and any help you could offer would be nice...

Intel Core i7 4770
8GB Corsair Ram
GTX650 2GB Video Card
MSI B85-G41 Motherboard
1TB SATA-3 64MB Hard Drive

The rest of the items are just the case and other parts that I doubt have an effect on performance.

What games are you playing?
Have you installed/Updated your Driver?

Depending on your size of your monitor, it can change the speed of your PC, please post that to!

Guild Wars 2

I only have those two on it right now. I'm at 1920x1080 and it's a 24inch monitor.

Hmm, Whats the FPS your hitting? I dont know if the 650 really supports 1920x1080...

Guild Wars 2 I'm hitting around 33fps on Medium/High settings on Full screen.

Final Fantasy I'm running about 30fps on Standard(Laptop) and the window is only half of my screen and it still is lagging and tears the screen when I move at times.

I don't know what the specs of your old computer were, but the games you listed need a better graphics card. You can try overclocking your graphics card, but I am not sure if your card even uses a 6 or 8 pin power connecter. If I am guessing your card right it only draws power from the mother board that might be a bad idea to overclock it too much. Also seems your mother board and the graphics card doesn't support sli so seems like you need to get a new graphics card.

As a note; running games in windowed mode often make it preform worse, so full screen those games.

GPU is hurting you a bit; limits you to medium settings. The rest is fine.

Not sure of your PSU, but you can 2-3 way SLI 650's and be fine, or lower your resolution. But only if your PSU supports it. And you're probably running slower because you're running on higher resolutions now than what you were before.
