GTX 960 Acting Up for games?

[Joseph Jelly Elmajian]

Hello all,

I've played Black Ops 3 on it's default settings( Mostly everything was set on High and some Medium).

Suddenly, I cannot play that game without having drops anymore unless I am on Medium settings and I think I can get more out of my GTX 960.

Intel i5 4690K
GTX 960 4GB OC Edition
8 GB Gaming Ram
Z97 G45 Gaming Motherboard
550W Corsair Gold Rated Power Supply

The PC requirements for Black Ops 3 on PC are as follows:

Operating System: Windows 7 64-Bit / Windows 8 64-Bit / Windows 8.1 64-Bit
Processor: Intel® Core™ i3-530 @ 2.93 GHz / AMD Phenom™ II X4 810 @ 2.60 GHz
Memory: 6 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 470 @ 1GB / ATI® Radeon™ HD 6970 @ 1GB
DirectX: Version 11
Network: Broadband Internet connection
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible

The GTX 960 is basically a medium settings card. Seems normal to me, and I hear BO3 can be graphically intense.

Download gpu-z and check all your gpu's temp and utilization sensors while in game. . That's where I would start.
