Hello!


I'm having frame rate issues with my games, and this is my current build

AMD PHENOM II X3 710 OC to 3.1ghz.

XFX HD RADEON 5750

Rosewill 550w

4GB OCZ DDR3


So in games like Mass effect 2 I can max everything out and get a stable 50-60 fps, but in games like BFBC 2,DAOC, and Dead space 2 I get bellow 30 fps and subpar performance. Has my Cpu gone bad or something?
 
With Dead Space 2 you're going to have to disable Vsync if you haven't already, both Dead Space games have a broken Vsync option that caps the framerate at 30FPS and sometimes causes the framerate to drop below that. Dead Space 2 is not a demanding game by any stretch, and you should be able to get way more than 30FPS.

Depending on your resolution your GPU may not be strong enough to max out Battlefield Bad Company 2. If you're trying to max it out at 1080p, a 5750 isn't going to be enough. With my 6870 I get around 60FPS in the quieter areas, and 30 to 45 FPS when the screen gets busy when the game is running on max at 1080p.

I don't know what DAOC stands for so I can't comment about that game.
