AMD fx 8320 bottleneck r9 280x?!

[RivasPt]

Hello,
My r9280x and cpu not reaching 100% load but frames are under 60fps ... Dont understand why.

Thanks for the help

Are you experiencing this issue after you've moved onto Windows 10 from a previous platform or are you gauging the bottleneck via other users on the web with a similar/identical setup?

We can't look into the files as it requires permissions to view.

Hi,

I have same issue in both windows (win10 and 8.1)

Post picture via dropbox (please tell me if you can see it)

You're welcome! Could you provide a detailed systems specs?

 

[RivasPt]

here my specs:

Amd fx 8320 ~ 4,4ghz
Ati r9280x
Asus M5a97 r2.0
8gb memory
kingstone 120gb ssd (x2)
Windows 10 ( previous win8.1)

what i´ve done:
format install windows.
new drivers
tested de processor, if i downgrade to default speed 3500 ghz frames drop a litle 2\3 fps.

You're welcome! Could you provide a detailed systems specs?

Thanks though you forgot to include the monitor and the resolution you are driving from your R9-280x as well the games you are playing on that system.

 

[RivasPt]

ok,

resolution : 1920x1080 (samsung tv) or 1650x1050 (asus monitor)

Games : fallout 4 (screenshot), ark survival envolved ( here gpu goes 99%), call of duty advanced warfare ( 60fps achived with vsinc)

See when you speak of seeing the same frame rates in both your OS's then that means that on the hardware side.
1| I can't say about the ram's frequency but an overclock with AMD processors are best served with a memory overclock as well, so we also need to know the make+model of your ram kit.
2| Your motherboard has PCI-E 2.0 whereas the GPU is a PCI-E 3.0 card. It may be backwards compatible but you are loosing out on some bandwidth.
3| What sort of numbers were you expecting?

 

[RivasPt]

hi again


3)i was expecting in fallout exemple, that the graphics card use all the power available (99%) to reach the maximun frames possible (in this game some areas i reach 60 fps, but gpu load never at 99%, is arount 70%)

2) may be the problem

Thank you for the prompt responses. You could push your kit to 1866 but that would put overdue stress on your unit. I'd say you are in the right margin of performance with your current setup.

hi again and thanks for your replies,

i´ve changed memories to 1714mhz (my fsb is at 215) and i saw 1/2 frame more in same spot in game.

For conclution porpuses i ask, in your opinion, my system "weak spot" is the memories? or main board? or cpu?
My cpu (none of the cores) reaching 100% not even 70% , GPU reaching only 70% probably there´s something slowing my system down...

You've spent a good amount of cash behind your system so anything I say in response to your latest question would only result in more expenditure. You're worrying over something that won't ruin your gaming experience 😉 Relax and keep playing!

You´re right 😛 i can play very well with this system (for my standers) although changing from a scene at 60fps to a scene at 37 you can feel it 😛 .
I was only hopping for a solution\explanation, i will not spend more money for sure 😛 i have (i think) this system since 2013 and i want to mantain until 2018 😛 just trying to understand were is my limitation
That gpu and cpu utilization for me isn´t right 😛 at least one of them (cpu or gpu) should be at 95-100% to reach maximum frame rate.

again, thanks for your time
