GTX 770 performing the same as my old 550 TI and I can't figure out why.
I bascially bought a new GTX 770 graphics card and it doesn't seem any different from my old GPU, ive tried everything i can think of and it has had no effect on the games i play. My build is below:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-M4A78LT-Socket-Motherboard...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/AMD-FX6300-Edition-4-1GHz-Socke...
8GB of RAM

to tell if anything is wrong though performance wise, not just living up to your expectations, look back at the 3dmark firestrike score and select show result details, it is a big orange bar pretty much at the very top. This will show you how you compare to other people who have run the benchmark with builds basically the same as yours. If you arent in the bar with pretty much everyone elses scores then there is something wrong with your current setup

Lol games your playing games which are CPU intensive so try max all the settings. The real test would Crysis 3, Watch dogs e.t.c.

well the CPU was about 44% and the GPU was about 31%

I would go with i5 in gaming they beat any radeon with any number of core. My old core i5 2400 still never hits 100% in any game.

To check that your CPU is holding back your gpu check in game u r getting fps problem that your CPU is 100% or not. If it is 100% and gpu isn't at 99% means that your CPU is bottlenecking Gpu which means with your current CPU you cannot get full performance of your new graphics card.

Well with my i5 and 280X i get around 7500. Those two cards are similiar perfrormance but CPU's are not.

6194 with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770(1x) and AMD FX-6300
That is the result Copy and pasted from the online results.

don't you need to pay for firestrike ?


3dmark demo version is free. Get it from steam.

Can you run a firestike so we can see is the GPU performs as it should?
