i3 bottlenecking GTX 750 ti?

[kshitij17]

Hi! My pc specs are - i3 3220 , 4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz RAM , Palit gtx 750 ti dual , Gigabyte B75M-D3H motherboard and my PSU is Antec VP 650 watt. While playing Planetside 2 my GPU usage as per msi afterburner is only around 40 % to 50 %. On youtube there are many videos of gameplay planetside 2 on a gtx 750 ti at 1080p at max and they get 36 FPS while when i play on 900p at high setting (vsync off) i get around 20 - 25 fps in fights. Also the game crashes everytime i die.Also the RAM stays on the edge of being totally used up while playing the game. But i can play games like bf 4 without any problem at max at 50 fps with my gpu usage being at 99%. How can i resolve this problem with planetside 2? Please help! Thanks in advance!

short and simply, there is no bottleneck whatsoever

you could be having driver conflicts. what graphics card did you have in the computer before?

let ddu uninstall all the amd/nvidia drivers in safe mode then reinstall the latest nvidia beta drivers.

earlier i had a gt 620. And my driver in case you needed it is the 337.5 beta driver.

then what is the problem ? is it the ram?

you still could be getting nvidia installer left overs. just download ddu and let is scan, you dont have to let it do the uninstall. it will show you how many different drivers versions are in there. if it shows more than one then that is a case for driver conflict. neither amd or nvidia are perfect at their uninstallers and they forget things here and there. ddu is far better at cleaning.

It shouldn't be a bottleneck, the i3-3220 is about on par with a 750 TI, they're a pretty good match for games.

Btw, I have a GTX 660, 8GB of RAM, and Phenom II 955, and on high settings Planetside 2 still dumps my framerate to 25-30 in larger battles. Or at least, it did a few months ago when I last played.

If your RAM is filling, that can certainly hurt MMO performance.
Other than that, it could be a leftover driver conflict like nikoli suggested.

I tried it , even uninstalled the drivers using DDU and reinstalled the 337.50 beta driver but i don't seem to have gotten any performance boost , it's the same.

I do actually now think it's the RAM as you say because i did all i could to clean my system off of the drivers and reinstalled the 337.50 BETA driver but it does not seem to have solved my problem. Will try and add another 4GB of RAM as soon as could.
