Good day to you all in the land of Tom and the never-ending hardware inquiries! I have two evga FTW 780's running in SLI, a 1000 watt gold 90% psu (evga), 2x8gb gskill trident x ram, FX 8350 cpu, and Asus M5A99FX Pro 2.0 mobo. I'm running them at 2560x1440p on a Qnix 2710 (overclocked to 96hz).
I really feel like I'm not getting near the performance that I should with those cards. BF4 most outdoor maps its around 65 fps with peaks to 75 or sometimes 100 indoors, and dips down to 45-50 with pretty rare instances of fps as low as 25 on maps like Hainan Resort when the building comes down. Is my cpu bottlenecking these cards??Both cards are boosting to 1175 core and around 65-6600 on the memory. I've seen footage of people playing with the same ultra settings and cards running a 4770k and easily staying around 90-110 fps. Everywhere I look there are people saying no way is an 8350 bottlenecking, and then 5 more people that say they are. I tried turning down the settings in BF4 to medium or taking the AA off completely and there was virtually no difference in framerate, and it actually seemed to be higher with the higher settings. What do you think? I know for the price, that processor is a great deal. But I also hate to have spent that much money on those cards and not get the full power from them :/
I bought the msi z97 board and had the 4790k pre-ordered until tuesday I canceled because I just wasn't sure how much benefit I would see from it. I was going to send the motherboard back to amazon. Then I saw this video last night (link below) comparing the 4790k against the AMD 9590 and 8350 and the results were staggering o_0
That gap on bf4 and far cry 3 can't be legit can it?? The test results are also kinda iffy since he didn't once mention what the gpu config was...
