Help With A possible bottleneck in my current system

[savagemchenry88]

Hello, I recently upgraded to a titan x graphics card and I'm not really seeing the framerates in games I was expecting to see. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on benchmarks I should run to see if my system is bottlenecking or if there are any upgrade anyone can suggest that will help my system achieve higher framerates in games. Here is my current build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/v4XDvK Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.

there shouldnt be any bottlenecks on that system its pretty much as good as it gets for gaming.

what fps are you getting and what were you expecting to get.
if your running older game engines that support dx9,10,11 then install the relivant direct x distros.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 even if you already have dx11 installed you will be missing dome dlls from earlier versions that help improve older game stability and performance.

lastly check your ssd isnt causing it. it seems the evo 840 drives have an issue where they loose performance over time there is a fix

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9196/samsung-releases-second-840-evo-fix explains whats happening and what you need to do if your drive is suffering degradation.
http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/minisite/SSD/us/html/support/downloads.html the firmware and magician tool that applys the fix.

Ok sorry for the confusion. The evo actually just stores my operating system.. I have a 2tb caviar black drive and another 2566SSD that I put my games on. One of the games I'm playing right now thats really bugging me is ARK survival evolved. I am getting less than 10 FPS on that baby when I host a game. I know its early access so it may just be the game itself but it seems absurdly low. Today I put GTA5 on optimal settings through NVIDIA GEforce experience and ran the in game benchmark. Here are the results

[HEXiT]

wow you have very high frame latency... normally that should be around 3-5ms for 50%+ of the frames but your at 25+ minimum

try removing all your nvidia drivers, cleaning the registry and download and install new 1s.
http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html this tool works well to find the scraps left behind.

Did not really see any huge increases. Oh well thanks for your help anyways. Any other ideas? Would faster ram help my system?

 

[HEXiT]

no mate more ram wouldnt help.
you have a latency issue. i thought the gfx drivers would sort it out. i would suggest you try emailing nvidia with these results they may be able to point you in the rite direction to a fix.

 

[savagemchenry88]

Ok I am going to email NVIDIA. Are there any other benchmarks I should run on the card first?

 

[HEXiT]

none i know of that will give you that kind of verbose information.
