So I installed my a brand new EVGA GTX 680 2GB Signature SuperClocked, and started up Crysis 3. I maxed all my settings out and started playing. Well guess what? I started lagging. Mostly in the large areas where there is a lot going on, when im in the halls and rooms for the most part I have great fps. So I started messing with the advanced settings, but turning down shading, and AA didnt increase my fps much without taking from the quality of the game. So I turned down the "Texture resolution" from Very high to high and maxed all the other settings out with FXAA, and the frame rates went up quite a bit. But not as fast as I had hoped, and if I turn on MXAA or TXAA it gets really laggy.
Specs:
i7-3770 @ 3.4 ghz
GTX 680
8GB ram (not gaming ram, its just some cheap ram)
Win 7 64
1 TB 7200 rpm.
Stock Dell 8500 motherboard.
Note: I just transferred my Dell 8500 motherboard, ram and cpu into a CM Storm Stryker case, with a new 700w CM PSU, and
of course the GTX 680 I just bought. My previous card was a GTX 650 Ti that I was using in my Dell because of the low power consumption.
My question: Is the GTX 680 just not powerful enough play crysis 3 at max? Or is my processor/ram/motherboard bottlenecking my system?
Any help or advice would be awesome. If this card wont max out Crysis 3 I think im going to return it, because games are just going to get more graphic intense in the months to come. I bought this hoping to be future proof for the next year or two.
