gtx 670 lagging

[joedirtnoob]

I have been battling some bad lag issues on my new build!

Specs:
i5 3570k 3.4ghz
ASUS Z77-v lk
2x8gb ram (cmx8gx3m1a1600c11)
GeForce GTX 670
Corsair H60 cooler
250 samsung SSD

I updated BIOS to 1104 version.
I unistalled all graphics drivers and reinstalled latest version (320.49).
I disabled V-Sync.
Increased default ram setting from 1300mhz to the appropriate 1600mhz.
Set display to PCIE

Not sure what else to try??
Any help would be much appreciated

what games specifically is it lagging in?

 

[joedirtnoob]

Battlefield 3, and Splintercell Blacklist. Mirrors edge has also lagged before. Diablo 3 runs fine. It runs fine for a few minutes then will drop to about 10-20 fps for about 2-5 seconds then go back up to 60fps.
The only thing I can think of is maybe is the RAM timing 11 11 11 30. ? Its not on the qualified vendor list for the mother board

this is just because this isnt the best gpu. try running the games at lower settings, or lower resolutions.

gpu boost clock issue most likely. you can force a constant clock rate with nvidia inspector.

the gpu boost does sound like it could be the culprit, makes sense if the pc is running cool and forcing gpu clocks to a minimum. Thanks Ill try that program out later tonight!
