HAPPY NEW YEAR<
TECH LEVEL: Noob to Moderate
SYSTEM: Built by me on a budget.
AMD 965 3.40ghz I let the mobo overclock it to 3.6 ( NEW TO THAT)
MB ASUS M4A87TD
PS SEASONIC 620WATX 12V
RAM-2 4 gig sticks of G.skill ripjaw
Hd 7870 xfx DD
Games played BF3 and SKYRIM
About a month ago I was running a hd5770 on a 22"samsung, the monitor failed so I bought a 24 samsung 60ghz 1080p and then my 5770 was no good anymore
I bought the 7870 and Im kinda bummed atm.
Fresh install, new beta driver, after failing with the 12.10
Bf3 35-60 fps on high or med, makes no difference and the card will run at 40-60%... If i put it on Ultra the frames stay at 35-60 fps and the gpu usage goes up to 98% but does not run well enough to play well. I have not tried low.. The swings are to much though and not floating around 60 enough even at medium settings. I have bumped that card a little in msi afterburner but it does not help frames just lowers the gpu usage a little more. Skyrim runs on Highest at 50%gpu, It skips/ studders at times, but I think that is mostly skyrim.
I can buy parts and but together a budge machine, But i know nothing about overclock ect. I came to the bros for advice. Everything was fine before my 22" monitor crapped out SIGH
