Getting low fps in games with my gtx 670

[PanicMaster85]

I expected WAY more than 40(some times even below 30)-70fps in crysis2... I payed 400$ for a graphics card that i heard played crysis2 at nothing below 60... Im really confused please help me figure it out, also i get 30-60 in bf3 even when i hear your supposed to get 50-70

i already update my bios, and what do you mean by what is your gpu utiliztion?

GPU usage 50% 60% 90% which is it?

 

[PanicMaster85]

🙁 I cant go sli for a while

in bf3 it like 60-80 but then in crysis 2 it actually pretty high but i mean I expected a lot more so im hoping that I dont drop down to 30

 

[bigcyco1]

bf3 min 46.99 max 70.46 average 59.33 one card so it's your cpu i think maybe not

 

[PanicMaster85]

Just ran two tests with one 670 PE BF3 Average 59.33FPS but i am getting in Crysis 2 Average 53.66fps

Hey play roadrage in crysis2 with dx11 ultra and highres pack, tell me what fps you get before you get to the window where you hear the people talk

 

[redeemer]

LOL!Your right about Arkham city just ran test one 670 PE MIN. 28 MAX 81 AVERAGE 56

Yeah Arkham city is horribly coded anyway, you're probably right about his CPU being the bottlenefck which amazes me btw. Like I said the piledriver 8350 can really boost up your FPS in games, if indeed OP's current cpu is the bottleneck. That sucks because you just spent $400 on a gpu.

yeah but Christmas is coming :lol:

besides I wonder how much a difference it is between the gtx 670 and hd6850 and I needed to start getting better cards, eventually sli so 😀

also are you sure the 8350 will help? Are you sure it wont be bad because of the multithreading?

Actually forget about the 8350 not much difference in that particular title

Uninstall the drivers and run a driver cleaner program, then reboot and install 310.33 drivers.

You can try this bios if you want do it at your own risk

MSI GTX 670 PE
Version: 80.04.19.00.04
FAN: 20% - 100%
http://ultrashare.net/hosting/fl/3e32b7aac7/PE670_VMOD_BP-200-225_FAN-20-100






PLEASE BACK UP YOUR BIOS (with nvflash for example) RESET YOUR OC SETTINGS BEFORE FLASHING.
AFTER FLASHING REINSTALL THE NV DRIVER (Clean Install) AND REBOOT.
TEST WITHOUT ANY CLOCK OFFSET FIRST.

 

[neon neophyte]

5 percent chance we dont hear from op again lol

 

[bigcyco1]

Lol!

 

[PanicMaster85]

no lol my enternet freaking died :lol: for like 6 hours i was cut off *shiver* 😛 ill look at that, so what then i just download it put it on a flash drive an boot off the flashdrive?

 

[bigcyco1]

There are more GTX670 and GTX680 firmwares in the thread over at MVKTech (HERE). http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_joomlaboard/Itemid,34/func,view/id,63576/catid,10/limit,10/limitstart,0/


Salitus bios'(The creator of the bios and mod) comes in at 1293 stock
All of Tecfreak's bios' come in at 1202 stock boost.(Whom is a helpful fellow on OCN)

Things to do before the flash:

Reset your overclocked settings in all programs you use.
Reinstall NV drivers with clean install(not necessary but some people have had to)



Flash guide
Use this to save your bios
http://www.mediafire.com/?r95szd1c3dh363r
It is a new version of GPUz that allows so.
you can use this: http://www.mediafire.com/?76z6cfr5d2y7h77
its for the Zotac extreme the install is in Chinese but its in english for the program. It has a built in Flash/Save bios ability and its great.
SAVE YOUR BIOS FIRST! then select flash bios, ok, then select the file from the OP and wait until its done, reboot and your good ! Super simple.
IF for some reason something goes wrong, you can boot off a second gpu(ex iGPU or another dedicated) and reflash the bios you backed up. http://www.youtube.com/feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/feature=player_embedded

I know this may sound weird but have you tried underclocking your GPU by like say 100mhz below stock? Sometimes when the GPU clock is pushed too high it does not perform very well and thats a noted issue with the MSI lighting edition series since MSI secretly overvolts them.

AMD Bulldozer sucks at gaming. Your CPU is bottlenecking the hell out of your GPU.
