GTX 970 low fps?

[Chompski]

Ok, i have some question. Im not even sure if it was a problem but, it was GTX 970 so it supposedly able to run games smoothly in the ultra setting right?

So i recently played Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Im using "Very High" settings and got like 50ish FPS only, and sometimes it dipped into 30-40ish FPS. I tried the "High" settings, it wasnt any much of a difference.

So i tried checking with Msi Afterburner and i'm seeing that my GPU Usage was only 60-70% and when my fps dropped into 30fps the GPU Usage also dropped into 20%.

I tried Checking with MSI's Kombustor it was steadily 98% GPU usage.

I have same problem in AC:Unity, also fps drops with i5-4690k & R9 290x.

I guess AC games are just poorly optimized for 60FPS Ultra Graphics on high end PC's.

are all your drivers and BIOS up to date ?

you should think about replacing the WD green HDD for gaming and save that for storage .

some games will dip in stops was it unplayable ?

By BIOS, did you meant the driver? Sorry, im not exactly einstein in computer. If so, then yeah the nvidia driver is up to date.

And what do you meant by replacing the WD green HDD for gaming and save that for storage?

Well it's not exactly unplayable, but it's just quite disappointing. I thought GTX 970 was supposedly able to run games on ultra 60fps smoothly. Not to mention i lived in a quite shit-hole country where the distributor of nvidia (msi, gigabyte and stuff) monopolize the prize. For example, even though basicly in US (newegg) the vga cost like 350$, in here it's about 500$.

http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5173#bios bio is a upgrade for the mobo ( sometimes fixes issues )
if you not having problems with the said fixes its best to leave it alone

i can feel you , i bought a 1440p and a gtx 980 ti and in the witcher 3 at ultra i get like 45 + fps was disappointing

Hm, i watch the video. So, do black (performance version) is better for gaming ? As i stated before, im pretty stupid with pc. Do DISK really matters a lot?

Also, this really scares me a lot

Warning:
Because BIOS flashing is potentially risky, if you do not encounter problems using the current version of BIOS, it is recommended that you not flash the BIOS. To flash the BIOS, do it with caution. Inadequate BIOS flashing may result in system malfunction.

i have quite bad experience with updating stuff, also the description isnt exactly helping. Only AUDIO LED (what ?) and windows 10 fixes.

I rode on other thread that some guy told to download driver booster 3, which was just like any other driver checker softwares. I tried it and found some of outdated driver.

I tried click one, it somehow forces my computer to restart (lol idk).

Also i would like to say with MSI Live Update it said my Mainboard BIOS/driver/utilities are the laster version,

if your not sure about the bios dont play with it

as for the HDD it will help a little with load times ( not with FPS )

IMO your not going to get 60+ FPS in every game

As long as its not choppy as hell just enjoy it and play games, IMO OCing and tweeking your system really is not worth it

So, the dream of getting stable smooth 60fps is just merely a dream? How...sad....
