Basically,I wanted a good gaming rig for a long time, so I finally saved up enough to buy a really good one.
Or so I thought
Here are the specs:
CPU - Intel I7 3970Xtreme Ediiton 12 Core 3.57GHZ
32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
GTX 690 - Multi GPU btw
2TB HDD + 127GB SSD.
Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard
Liquid Cooling + 4 other fans
A 27 inch iiyama FULL HD LED screen.
I was really happy.
I play ARMA 2 without VSync.
50 FPS
On only High Settings.
Was I expecting too much here?
For a GTX 690, performance like that in my opinion is not good news.
I checked, slow mode is off on my Motherboard.
I downloaded PlayClaw 3 to see how my GPU was fairing.
Both GPU's in the 690 NEVER go higher than 50%.
In Arma 2, their peak is at 50% while playing.
BUT IN THE MENU THEY IMMEDIATELY GO TO 100%.
Is this a driver bug?
Is it a CPU Bottleneck, if so, how the **** do I fix it?
How the hell do I fix it.
Should I swap the 690 out for a 680?
Even WoW has regular FPS drops from 60 to about 50. Not much, but its annoying when you know you have Nvidia's most powerful card right next to you . .
Someone Help me . . . Please . . .
Ohh, btw.
Total Cost for me? 5000$
Am I Happy?
NO!
