I NEED HELP MY 750 TI FTW IS DYING!!!! I think

[Far2__]

I just bought a 750 ti evga ftw...and I barely get 20 fps on fallout 4 at 1440x900

Current build:
Q6600 Oc to 3.0ghz
750 ti ftw
300w psu
5gb of ram ddr2

This is a oem hp dx2400..I did a tape mod on the cpu to get to 3.0ghz....I think it my psu that hold it back but I don't know I'm kinda of a newbie to computer gaming

We need some more information. Why do you think it's dying?

Well, your Q6600 is nearly 10 years old, and the 750ti is considered the minimum for AAA games at 1080p. I think that's likely the problem. Fallout 4 really benefits from a fast processor like a 2nd-6th gen i5.

run fraps. my step kid has a q6850 and gtx 950 and the cpu is a huge bottleneck for sure its always at 100 usage.

Hi,

Im pretty sure your gear is ok but can't cut it for fallout 4

here are the minimum requirements

Fallout 4 Minimum Requirements
CPU: Intel Core i5-2300 2.8 GHz/AMD Phenom II X4 945 3.0 GHz or equivalent
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 7/8/10 (64-bit OS required)
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 550 Ti 2GB/AMD Radeon HD 7870 2GB or equivalent
Free Disk Space: 30 GB

I am thinking that your your cpu is holding you back.
Also, your psu is borderline to power the GPU. You need at least a good 400 w.

also your cant use dual channel memory with 5 gb .

I seem people use a q6600 with a 750 ti on youtube and got above 30 fps....i use fraps for every game.....i had a 1gb ddr5 7750 and i got way better performance...i think its the psu

Might be worth looking at a Mobo, CPU and PSU upgrade.
