Dear maxalge and Kasper Jorgensen. I've just solved it!! It was indeed thermal throttling. After measuring my temps with HWMonitor during different runs along the day, I found out my CPU was at about 43ºC when idle (109ºF) and at 71ºC (158ºF) while playing; at every moment, my GPU remained at...

@maxalge I know, but i didnt know 60-70°C would be considered Thermal throttling. That's what gets me even more confused; any game runs fine, but not FIFA. And yes, i have bought the game via Origin

@maxalge (sorry to quote you this way, can't do it any other way :/ ), could that really be the way yo solve it?? Igual thought the continuous lag would ve because my cpu is old and may be doing some bottleneck. As well, what should i do? Shall I put some thermal paste or cooler on it? Or...

Hi maxalge, thanks for answering. I've monitored them, and they get to 50-60 °C (120-140 °F). This ID while I play; when i close the game, it decreases

Hello everybody! I'm experiencing a very frustrating and upsetting FPS downgrade on FIFA 18. Strange thing is, despite the graphic settings i choose, it will run VERY laggily and FPS will get no more than 10-20 when I play. I've tried both playing with my display's natural resolution (1360x768)...

Thanks to you both, Robert and Ascorbate!! You've given me full certainty of getting it :) Cheers to you, men!!

Dear Tom's Hardware community: I've got this PSU: http://www.sentey.com/es/xpp-625-watts-xpp625-ps, which is a 625w Sentey, that manages 40A at the 12v rail (which develops, as long as I understand, a total of 480 real watts). As well, i wanna buy a Zotac GTX 960 AMP! Edition, which requires a...

Great, I'll take it into account!! Thanks pal

Thx for your answer I7Baby!!! Unfortunately, I have kind of a tight budget and, even though I want to buy the 270X and it's my priority, i want to save as much money as possible. In my country (Argentina), a Seasonic or XFX costs twice than, for example, the Sentey i posted; nevertheless, i...

Hi, i'm planning to buy an ATI Radeon R9 270X, which consumes about 180w average. As well, I have two 4GB Gskill Ripjaws at 1600 MHz, and a Phenom II X4 960T processor (which consumes around 95w) already installed in my rig. My current GPU is a Radeon HD7770, which uses 80w average, and my...

OK, I'll go for the other ones. Thanks pal!! And to all the other ones who bothered on answering me

Great, I'll look for those. Is Thermaltake a quality brand as well?

So i should change it for a better one?
