gtx 780 ti performance problems

[b00m666]

I just bought the gtx 780 TI Gaming 3gb videocard for playing everything at max on 1920:1080, yet, i can't even play dayz ( early alpha) on high without encountering fps lagg.

This is the single fastest gpu on the market, how in hell is it impossible to run a game like that?

Specs:

Mobo: g43 z77a
GPU : Gtx 780 TI Gaming 3gb
Ram: 8 GB
Cpu: i5-2500k (not overclocked)
900 watt power supply.

it also likes to make cod ghost flicker when at max settings

how bad of FPS lag are we talking about? early alpha games respond differently to different computers and specs because it's really early in development, and it could be a number of things honestly not just your graphics. Run some graphical benchmarks like 3Dmark and see if you get a comparable score to other 780Ti's.

as for the flickering, do you have Vsync on?

Vsync is off and the game causes flickering on my desktop aswell.

You are trying to play a terribly optimized game that demands alot of CPU power, using a non overclocked CPU, the game doesn't care how fast your GPU is, and at 1080p its really not going to do anything a 770 couldn't do.

hmm the flickering is a pretty big issue, try running the stress test 3Dmark and see what happens, if it has a significantly lower score than other GTX 780Ti's then you may have a problem.

Also flickering can be due to drivers so wipe em clean and reinstall a fresh copy of the latest non beta (do this after the 3Dmark just in case). Also monitor your temperatures and clocks during any intensive programs.

I have already stress tested my card and the max temperature at 100% for 4 minutes is 64c which seems to be good. conidering my old card went to 90 c.

I just bought the card and used the cd for the extras ( gaming program msi for oc mode, gaming mode, silent mode)

Is this just my cpu being slow as hell or is it just that games like DayZ and Cod ghost are just terrible when it comes to optimalization ( although there are people who can play those games maxed out fine :/)

Benchmark results from 3dmark

Physics results were pretty shocking

So i guess it's my cpu that's the problem then? If you come to the same conclusion, i ask you if i have to buy a i7 or just overclock this one ( which probably means i gotta buy watercooling)

 

[lmaonade200]

nah you won't have to buy water cooling for overclocking, sandy bridge chips overclock very well and with a decent air cooler you should be able to push it pretty high.

your CPU would be the bottleneck in certain cases but it shouldn't be bad at all, and I don't think DayZ should run badly on an i5 2500k, it should run pretty well, or else it'd alienate over half the gamers out there who aren't running 2000 dollar rigs.

and did you do anything else besides installing the extras from the CD? I would recommend going on the Nvidia website and downloading their latest non beta drivers, they help A LOT for stability issues with games and other programs

oh, forgot to ask, are you getting FPS problems is anything besides DayZ? or is it just DayZ

Right now i have problems with dayz and cod ghost, two horrible optimised games. But in the picture there is something strange, my clock should be 3.3 but under it it says 2 ghz? what is that all about

It also says 1/4 core. is my cpu not using it's full cores?

OC the CPU and see what happens, take it up to 4GHz anyway and see. Should be able to do that with nothing more than a change to the CPU multiplier and possibly a slight increase to the vCore (CPU voltage) of prob no more than + 0.06

Won't that raise the temperature by alot?

 

[Tradesman1]

Not much, no, by default the 2500K has turbo boost so can run (at stock) at 3.7, if you're running the stock cooler I wouldn't OC it over 4GHz, and if it would calm any fears you have just kicjk it to 3.8 or 3.9 - the 2500K though, so you know, is an OCing beast, don't think I've had my hands on any that couldn't run 4.4 or 4.5 - I run mine at 4.8 24/7 with a Hyper 212 EVO (about $35) CPU cooler

Turbo boost? is that something i have to download manually to activate such a mode? since right now, cpu z says it's running stock GHz

 

[Tradesman1]

Turbo Boost is a part of the CPU itself, it can automatically OC itself up to 3.7 GHz when it needs to

Alright, but i think i have to buy a new cpu cooler since right now, it's max temp is 55c and minimum is 34 c

 

[Tradesman1]

Just have to try it and see, take a look at the Hyper I mentioned before, great cooler 😉

 

[lmaonade200]

yeah the maximum turbo core clock is a weird figure, go into your BIOS and see if you can reset everything to default (or if it's already on default then see if you can set them to the proper values)
