Hi,
I have average performance with my system and I wanna have awesome performance! 😀
*My Setup*
AMD FX8320
Gigabyte GA 990XA-UD3
Gainward GTX 770 2Gb
Corsair 8 GB DDR3-1600 XMS3 DualKit
Corsair TX 650
Where do I best start upgrading?
As far as my researches go, I have 3 Options:
1) Get better GPU, because the GTX770 is outdated.
(Either 2nd GTX770 SLI or GTX970, outcome is nearly the same i guess) ~170$
2) Get better CPU, because this is the bottle neck.
(Getting rid of the motherboard and the FX8320. Buy an I7 or I5 instead and a right socket Motherboard)
~400$
3) Replace both CPU and GPU.
They fit very well together, no bottleneck. Need to replace both to get better performance. ~570$
What do you guys think? Any experience so far?
The weird thing is, when checking CPU usage, its never above 70%. GPU seems to be at 80-100% all the time. (Tested on Borderlands 2, Battlefield 4 and FarCry3. Nearly same results for all of them XD)
I just dont believe it, because I trust in my GPU (it was expensive 2 years ago) and somehow these 8 cores seem to be suspicious to me...
++PS: Extra Information:
I recognized some weird stuff going on in the following games: Secret World, Tera, Dead Island.: These games have framerates around 20fps or worse for me all the time. High or Low setting doesnt matter. A friend of mine has the exact same CPU and a slightly older GPU (650TI I guess.) and he has no problem.
