Higher resolution or Higher FPS for better gaming experience?

[JanTemplar]

Well, playing Metro: Last light is a thing on very high and 2X SSAA setting, I'm playing on 1600*900 resolutions and i get give or take, 50fps. Today i used another monitor with 1080p for playing that game on the same setting, i got 35fps. what I'm thinking is why people chose higher resolution over higher FPS? me, i prefer 1600*900 for 50fps, Is it same for you guys? I've kind of disappointed about my new gpu, 780 ti, i though i would handle this sort of settings better.

You might have your GTX 780Ti set underclocked to what it should be, that'll defiantly explain the terrible performance your getting.

 

[JanTemplar]

OMG, again 😀DDDDDDD what's wrong with menashdes001? always miss click best sollution 😀

 

[unknownofprob]

take out ur gpu and reinsert it and latest driver by nvidia do a clean installation

Did this help you?

I just bought this system and the latest nVidia driver is installed! do you mean do it again?

 

[unknownofprob]

Since you have an Asus card, the GPU Tweak software is what you want and change the gpu clock and memory clock to what would be suited to you.

worth a try, most likely same outcome.

Well, I'm afraid it's not! the GPU clock is 1020MHz whem im playing metro, and when the temp increases, it goes on lower GPU clock, not higher

I use evga precision

ur gtx 780ti is underperforming but theres nothing to bottleneck it so something wrong with the slot or graphics card

 

[unknownofprob]

Wait, if this is the problem well this'll be funny. what slot is the card in? is it in a x4?

honestly, i didn't insert it myself, it was assembled when i bought it, I just said which spec i wanted!

How can i check it?

 

[nashdes001]

on mobo it should b printed by the slot Pcie 3.0 or 2.0

 

[JanTemplar]

Well I'm going to check it, brb

 

[JanTemplar]

I've got some pictures from motherboard, so i think It's better to look at it yourself.

There is no game running or something.

 

[nashdes001]

put it in pciex16_3 and check

I use evga precision

i think the problem is easy !!! you are having Asus ! and using EVGA percision !! that what effect performance

what you should do since u have Asus , uninstall the EVGA !! and then instal ASUS GPU Tweak .. you will find it in the Disk in card box after that install nvidia experience to check if there is an update for the card even if u just bought it !

i think you can't use Asus brand card and use EVGA program ..

best of luck mate

On my GPU's info, it says the Bus Interface is:
PCI-E 3.0 x 16 @ 16 1.1
and i noticed on my mother board, i have to slot which says:
PCIEX16_2
PCIEX16_3
and my gpu is in PCIEX16_1,

Is it the problem?
and i changed EVGA Precision to Asus tweak, reinstalled the newest nVidia's driver, which is 332.21.

 

[unknownofprob]

X1!!!!!!!!!! Put it in the X16 Slot (which is the long black one with a lever on it, not the yellow)!!! the second photo OMG!!!!!, hahahaaha

You have linked some photo's which is good, On the first one those are the slots it should be in (Long black one with lever on it).

No wait, wait wait! 😀
sorry for posting wrong stuff, i check my motherboard, it's like this, my gpu is in the yellow one, big one!

There are 3 big slots, one of them is yellow, that it is the one we're talking about

would you check your fps since u change to asus tweak ?

 

[unknownofprob]

oh alright, I was going to say whoever built that was crazy or something. Yes that slot is fine.

But if you want to why not try the black slot just to see if the yellow one is defective or something, this does happen and if it improves performance, well that's always good.

Based on what you just said, as long as you're using 1 bus, you should be running at 16x. [Edit: redacted]

Definitely uninstall EVGA Precision. Those softwares don't play nice when not used with their manufacturer product. Install ASUS's GPU Tweak software. Does virtually the same thing.

1020MHz is above the GPU boost clock for the 780 Ti, so, you should be running pretty fat dumb and happy at that speed. It shouldn't be dipping itself down that much.

However, going back and looking at some of my benchmarks, I have a GTX TITAN, with considerably more video memory but less CUDA cores, and at 1080p with 4x SSAO, the game drops sub-60fps for me as well. SSAO can be pretty demanding on the GPU, I usually leave mine on 2x.

Based on what you just said, as long as you're using 1 bus, you should be running at 16x. 1020MHz is a little low for the 780 Ti, it sounds like it's not clocking up all the way, and that could have to do with running the wrong software.

Definitely uninstall EVGA Precision. Those softwares don't play nice when not used with their manufacturer product. Install ASUS's GPU Tweak software. Does virtually the same thing.

Nope, that particular model is clocked to 928MHz on the boost GPU clock. Clock the GTX 780Ti 200MHz on the GPU clock, then you'll be set. Reviews have done this and it's perfectly safe and heat won't be of a problem as the OC capabilities of the GTX 780Ti is monstrous. Use the Asus GPU tweak though, I like to keep asus with asus, not asus with evga.
