Hardware Problem - lags and low frame rates

Post » Thu Jul 18, 2013 2:07 pm

Hello guys,

i know i am not the only one, but i hope that somebody can help me. I am getting awful frame drops and lags all the time, which should not happen with my hardware. Moreover it gets even worse when i use a autoexec like the one SDub posted somewhere in the forum. My hardware specifications:
AMD FX 6100@4,2 ghz
GTX 660ti
8GB Ram 1066 mhz
motherboard: msi 870-c45 (fx) v2

I am not able to play at full hd on the lowest settings, there is no noticeable difference when switching to high graphics (except the grafics are getting better ^^)
at the moment i play with a resolution of 1176x684 (something like that) to achieve a fluent gameplay. But even on this resolution my frames drop down from only 90 to under 40. All my drivers are up to date. Overclocking has no effect. Cpu works at 60-80%, Gpu at around 40%, both dont get very hot.
Anyone know this and can help me? Would be great! :)

Unfortunately your problem is your CPU. Take a look at these benchmarks: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/amd-fx-8120-6100-4100_6.html#sect0

you are being bottlenecked by your cpu - one of the most clear signs of cpu bottleneck is when you adjust graphic settings yet you see small if any changes in FPS.

getting around 30-40fps with your setup in 1080p and lowest settings sounds about right.

amd is fine, especially their 8 core AMD FX-8350 in render programs beat intel i7-3770k and is €100 cheaper, I saw the bench of these high end amd/cpu performance in games - amd did a good work
