fx 8350 geforce 1060 6gb frame drops

[Mircea Benga]

Hello, I've installed AC Origins, maxed all the details, only shadows:low, and vsync off. I have 16 Gb Ram hyperx 1600Mhz (4X4gb) and a 4+1 phase asrock 970 extreme 3 rev 2.0. 750 W power psu. I have an average of 51 fps, problem (I asume) is when loading from hard disk, running I have huge fps drops 12 fps. speciially when I start playing. after 5-10 minutes of play things are better. I tapped frame at 45 fps, better (cpu 80% ish) better but still frame drops. I cahnged thermal paste (MX-4) added a 12 cm fan next to vrm, temperatures improved even 10C, still same frame drop. could It be C1E, cool and quiet or other power saving features drop the voltage and cause that frame drops? Thank you!

Are you playing at 1080p?

Are you playing at 1080p?

yes, 1080p is more tha enough for me

I would say your problem is with the processor. At 1080p, CPU’s are tasked at a higher percentage. As you move up in resolution (1440p, 4K) your GPU takes on most of the workload.

The 8350 is an old CPU and has historically shown these sorts of behaviors before. I would say the best thing to do is save little bit of money and grab a better processor/motherboard/RAM combo.

I would say it is time for a CPU upgrade.

To much for me...can't upgrade to soon...maybe a little voltage increase, a little overclock...1.4V it's enough? It was 1.375V set but in cpu id showed 1.33 max, I disabled everyting, set 1.385V cpuid shows 1.352-1.36V @ 4.1GHZ, please tell can I push to 1.4V, voltage drop decreasez voltage? thank you!

Faster speeds on that CPU won’t make up for a sub-par architecture. Increasing voltage will just add heat to your system and possibly cause stability issues.

1.5 ~ 1.55v for 4.8~5GHz as long your fan can keep up (moster air cooler like Noctua NH-D15 could handle it at 60°C) and your mobo needs to support such power draw

Thank you for youur help, maybe I do a small overclock, and lower some ultrahigh settings, I followed the AC Origins optimisation tread on Steam and a managed to lower the stress on the cpu, thamk you again!
