GTX 780ti low bf4 fps.

[Ashley Walker]

Build:
Asus GTX 780ti direct CU II OC edition
i7- 3770k at 3.5ghz
asrock h61m-dgs
8gb DDR3
win7 64-bit
iiyama ProLite E2473HS (Monitor)
Sata 1TB HDD


I'm currently finding that during 32 player matches are dropping as low as 30fps fairly frequently (High or Ultra settings). I am however displaying it on a 1080p monitor 60hz monitor with respective settings.
I was hoping if someone could advise me on this situation.

Thanks, Ash

it wont allow it to overclock, otherwise it is basically the same. It wont make it run at any lower of a clock speed than a z77 would (of course without being overclocked). the only thing its really gonna be "missing" is pci-e 3.0, which isnt a big hit either as most cards out today wont even really push the limits of pci-e 2.0.

i would make sure that the BIOS is up to date, drivers are (i think you already said they were), and then make sure that there is a quality power supply in your system to power the card. a new motherboard will give you a few benefits like overclockability, usb 3.0, pci-e 3.0, etc, but the one you are currently using should operate just fine with an i7 at stock clocks

and the i7 3770k IS supported on this board, it says on the ASROCK website that it is since bios revision p1.10 (which it has if the system will even boot into windows with that cpu installed)
