Low fps issue on new PC

[reginalddd]

Hi guys, I'm in need of some help with finding out why I'm struggling with low fps while gaming.
Brought a brand new computer that appealed to me within my budget. I wasn't looking for the best possible PC but something that would be able to run games smoothly.
CS:GO I average 40-50 fps on full low settings
LoL I average 80 fps on full low settings
WoW I average 70 fps in starter zone on full low settings
I was hoping for a stable 125 fps gaming life but not getting that, it could be that i brought a terrible PC and should of done more research or that something isn't actually right. But that's why I've come here for help. The one thing I think it could be is the on board graphics? Any help is much appreciated.

What resolution are you using?

I'm afraid the problem may be with your expectations. The A8 does have a fairly strong integrated graphics, but it's not meant to be great at 1080p. The results you are experiencing sounds about right where I think they should be.

What RAM are you using? FOr best results, you need to be using high speed memory in dual channel. For example, a 2x4GB 2133mhz ddr3 kit.

Buying a video card would help (could also require a new PSU depending on what you have)
But for what you have that sounds about right.

Thanks for replies.
I'm running on 1920x1080 resolution, so if the fps output is about right for the current setup what would be an improvement to it?
My RAM is a single Crucial 8 GB DDR3, so your saying I should purchase the same ram stick and have 2?

My PSU is FSP350-60HHN (85)

Yes get a 2x4GB or 2x8GB 2133mhz RAM kit and you'll get a noticeable improvement.


Note: instead of buying a second 1x8 Gb stick to match the one one have, just buy a new 2x kit.

Noticeable as in? Extra 10fps or what? Why 2133 and not a 1600mhz?
Would my screen resolution play a part in the low fps, Should I lower it down to 720

 

[CTurbo]

Because 2133mhz is a lot faster than 1600mhz

Yes 1080p is far more taxing than 720p. You'll get much better results at 720p for sure.

 

[reginalddd]

Okay I see.
Should I change my reso on just games or on the whole computer?

 

[CTurbo]

Set your PC to 720p.


Are you going to give the new RAM a try? I believe you will be pleased with the results.

Surely I should go for x2 8GB if I can?

 

[CTurbo]

Sure if you want. A little unnecessary, but certainly wouldn't hurt.

Shared graphics AMD radeon HD is the issue. The integrated GFX processing unit is not meant for serious games. Sure, it can play a lot of games but as you are seeing it doesn't handle it very well.

A full 125FPS for all games? . You would need to look to a card like mine which is a 970 FTW from EVGA. The 480, which is the newest offering from AMD, will also keep that FPS goal(if you can find one).

I am wondering why 125FPS was chosen. Screen tearing can occur with such high FPS on a TV/monitor with a refresh rate of 60Hz. That would be a good FPS for a 120Hz monitor. Still a too low for a 144Hz monitor.

About the cheapest fix would be a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202151&cm_re=r9_380-_-14-202-151-_-Product That won't meet your goal but it will improve your PC's gaming ability substantially.

Adding the other RAM stick will help considerably. The RAM was running in single channel mode which = half speed.
