my system:
i5 3470 CPU (3.2 ghr 3.6 turbo)
8 gigs 1333 mhz ram
Z77-DS3H motherboard
CORSAIR 750W PSU
GTX 780TI GPU (my computer is 2 years old and i upgraded from gtx 660 and reinstalled drivers)
pirated win 7 64bit


I am playing games like bf4 arma 2\3 dayz

In this games i am getting much lower fps than my freinds with weaker graphics cards so its not because this games are unoptimized and are cpu intensive because my freinds are getting much better results and cpu bottleneck is not the problem .

so as you can see i have a cheap mobo and a cheap ram compared to my freinds who have 16 gigs of ram i 7 3770s but much weaker graphics cards
at the start i was sure that my i5 is bottlenecking but after a long research i found that my cpu is not a bottleneck.

it feels like after upgrading from 660 in the hope of gaining huge fps boosts in my games i got small if any increace in my preformence.

the things that i am planning to do to try and solve this problem is waiting for windows 10 and then reformating my pc and getting a License windows (windows 10 will be free).

and another option i have is buying a good mobo with an i7 4790 but i am afraid it will not help and i will just waste my time and money.

i was trying to solve this problem for a long time now. i am very sad that i wasted so much money on a graphics card to get nothing but 10 fps .

i dont know what else can i try and this is why i came here
please help i have no one who is an expert in gaming rigs and this forum is my only hope .

*soory for my bad english
If somethhing is unclear post a comment and i will try to edit my post

Something is wrong in bf4.


According to this your cpu should be higher than what you are getting. Notice this is a 780 as well.


Also arma only uses 2 cores, right now even people with $1000 cpu's hardly get decent fps in that crap.
 
is that gpu usage?
also that stutering i have in bf4 64 players is probably a bottleneck?
what upgrades will boost my fps in arma 3?
 


No it's actual fps.

Look at the fps for the i5 3350, you should be getting better fps than that.

You have an issue, install msi afterburner and monitor temps for the cpu and gpu.

Something other than hardware is limiting you.


I sugest making sure all your mobo drivers are up to date. Along with the newest bios.
 


my mobodrivers are up to date and the bios from 2013 is the latest version my mobo has temp were ok
so if something other then hardware is limiting me reformating my pc will help ?
also what upgrades will boost my fps in arma 3?
 


The main issue with fps in arma is cpu power.

You would need to get a unlocked cpu and an aftermarket cpu cooler, and overclock it.

And even then it would still run like shit, because arma is a jumbled pile of crap at the moment.

 

ok i will soon reformat my pc and after that i will think about a cpu + mobo upgrade
i will write the results here later
