Is My Cpu Not Able To Keep Up With My Gpu

[Audatious Xtreme]

i recived my evga gtx 970 FTW earlier today, i have updated my drivers and everything, but i have noticed that the only thing that changed was my benchmark score, but only in the part that depends on the gpu. the issue is no mater what games i play i have been getting the same fps as before with my old card, being a evga gtx 750. which has led me to the conclusion to be that my cpu is not able to keep up with my gpu.

Your CPU should be able to keep up with your GPU. Maybe this is your problem: http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/198223-investigating-the-gtx-970-does-nvidias-penultimate-gpu-have-a-memory-problem (it's a pretty recent story, so this could be your problem)

thats not it i feel like my cpu is lacking because on games like arma 3 no mater what settings i run get get arround 20 fps the exact same as my old gtx 750

 

[Audatious Xtreme]

which games? compare with same resolution/detail level?

mainly arma 3, at 1080p lowest settings on both gpus i only run 20 fps. to be honest half the reason i bought this gpu is to run arma 3 and soon dayz when i get the money, and im worried i wont even be able to run dayz

temp on your cpu? is the oc stable? what cooler?

Can you send a CPUZ screenshot? (download link: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html)

temps stay around 110-120*F only using stock cooler. is it possibly a problem because i overclocked it using amd catalyst?

No that temperature is fine

any by the way guys even when in most games my cpu never goes up to 100% usage normally stays at arround 25%-40%

 

[Audatious Xtreme]

and my dram on cpu-z frequency is only 800mhz does that mean anything? becuase i have 1600 mhz ram

I've checked it out and your CPU does not bottleneck your GPU in any way. Do you have the latest drivers installed? (not from the CD but from NVIDEA's site)

i have the latest drivers installed on my gpu using geforce experience, are there drivers for my cpu that i might need to find?

windows 7 64 bit. i just am feeling like my cpu is holding my gpu back because of the fact that i run the same fps as i did with a 2 year old card that i do with the top of the line gtx 970

Do you have this driver already? http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/81877 it was released feb. 10th

yes i do. like i said before though i even got the achivement BRAWN on the 3dmark benchmark that says you gpu is ready to rumble but your cpu doesnt want to play. could that have anything to do with my motherboard? i have a biostar ta970

Both your CPU and GPU are compatible with that motherboard, so that shouldn't be a problem. But I just remembered that it could be possible that your CPU is overheating because on some CPU's the temperature measurements are faulty.
