Hey guys recently I purchased some new parts for my PC from newegg.
Specs:
R9 290 SAPPHIRE TRI-X OC 4GB
AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz
GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD3
TRIDENT-X 4GB MEMORY @1666MHz
SAMSUNG EVO 840 SSD 250GB
CORSAIR 750w Bronze Edition.
I upgraded everything to my PC except for my Processor. After playing a few games I noticed that my fps isn't living up to what it should be realistically. I get about 50-80 fps on BF4 and 30 fps on DayZ Mod and Standalone. I have been doing research on why my fps might be like this, so I have been downloading driver updates and what not for the past week. I read that it could be a bottleneck issue that doesn't allow my GPU to run to what it should be running at. So now this comes down to why I made this post.
Do you think it is a bottleneck issue? The highest I've been able to overclock my amd fx-8120 was 3.9GHz which didn't help my fps at all. I really don't know why I can't OC higher, my BIOS says boot failure everytime I try to OC over 3.9.
I bought the AMD motherboard to better support my system and build it around my amd fx-8120. The thing is, I don't know about Newegg's return policy. I have been using the motherboard everyday for about 5 days now.
If I do return the motherboard, I would have to buy another motherboard that goes with a Intel i5 Build if you guys recommend.
I have heard some good things about the 8350, but some bad things as well. I don't see much changed between the 8120 and the 8350 besides the frequency. Would it be worth it to purchase a 8350?
Should I look into other possible solutions and try to find out how to resolve the bottleneck?
What do you guys think?
