New CPU or another Graphicscard?

[hiporc]

Should I go in to Task Maneger when I play bf3?

thwe 00 and 05 and 01's are the percentage on cpu popwer they are consuming. Have task manager running in the background and alt tab to it while playing games, if there are any with 03 or more at the top tell me.

I checked it when i played bf3, bf3 was the top one was at 39 to 45 and then it was that dwm that was coming and going was at 01 but it was some thing else that was at 03 but i could not se wat it was because it did just disappeared. Im going to check with some other games tomorrow need to sleep now it is 3am here in Sweden.

dwm is your desktop, i honestly can not tell you anymore what is causing the lag.

Okay thanks anyway! What processor do you have? just whant to check if im going to by a new one which I dont think Im going to do because the cpu is not the problem

I checked it in euro truck and every thing was at 00 and euro truck on Ultra setting was first on 16 then dropped down to 03 but it was laggy as hell!

I have a i7 - 2700k overclocked to 4.7, stock it runs everything perfectly.

Okay, I will maybe buy a new cpu to cristmas, or I maybe try to overclock this one.
But thanks for all the help i got!

What i would try and do is wipe the the solid state drive completely blank after saving all your photos and personal stuff to a flash drive or external hard drive. Then re install windows and all the drivers. Update, and install a few games. If that does not work then...

Dont scrap the computer you currently have, it has some wicked hardware. Heck i would even buy it off you if i got the cash right now. Its just something isnt working just right with the rest of the system, and i am terribly sorry none of us can figure it out over the internet.

 

[thanksforthefish87]

Maybe he has a faulty piece of hardware?

That is the only other possibility if it still lags after a complete software overhaul. Its just kinda hard finding the problem half way across the world over the internet.

Hi again, I have fixed the lag on APB it was a videosetting. I played it today and id did lag as hell and i went in to the options and I play on 1920 1080 and i change it to 1600 900 and it did still lag even on medium settings and then I saw that Multi GPU thing and i turned it on and lag was gone even on maximum 1920 1080 so i thing it is just settings but Im not sure and after that the lag on minecraft was gone aswell, the FPS is betwen 620 and 180 but some times it drops from 400 down to 120 and that give it a little lag spicke but it is not any lag when I walk around with 300 fps anymore now it is running smooth. Bf3 also runs little better but it is on Ultra graphics, but it is still laggy as f**k on Euro Truck, but I updated it and it is better but still laggy. Btw I have my photos and movies and that stuff on another harddrive (Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM) i only have Windows, programs and games on the SSD. And i think i maybe will get Windows 8 soon because it run games smoother then windows 7. at least what I have heard from my friend that did just upgrade from windows 7

Windows 8 does help a tiny little bit for your current setup because it takes more advantage of your AMD FX-8350(because it's 8 cores) However, it should not fix your problem as your problem lies around some faulty stuff(software(not a slow OS) or hardware)

Let's make this more clear. Your computer setup is completely fine. It is actually already one of the best gaming PC setup you could build at the moment. (I said one of, not the only one) Your computer can/should handle all the games on the market at the highest settings.

What I recommend is just like hiporc said, wipe all your data on your SSD and install a clean version of Windows. After that, ONLY install the drivers and the games that you're playing.(to help eliminate program conflicts) and test it. If you find no problem at all. that means it should probably be the programs problem. and then install your programs one by one and test your games before you install the next program that way you know which program is causing the problem.

If you find yourself all perfect after installing all programs and games, that could probably be the virus.

Lastly, I do want you to check the video settings on your games. (you have the Geforce Experience, it should not be the problem) Try to find the option to turn off Vsync if that could probably somehow boost your FPS. Well, you already have couple hundred FPS on certain games, that should not be the case. but just checking, why not?

oh and remember to use the Geforce Experience to optimize your video settings though. Sometimes it will not detect your games if you didn't install your games on your system hard drive but rather on your secondary hard drive. Add the location you want the Geforce Experience to scan the games and optimize each games after that.

Download MSI afterburner, turn on GPU load on screen display, and see what your GPU load is. If it is a constant 90%+ than your processor is fine.

Well, the better determining factor would be is the CPU @ 97%+ while gaming and the GPU load is relatively light.

Though I have the 8350, and I don't see games load my CPU more than about 70-80% ever...

Hi

I have the AMD FX 8350 processor with Asus Sabertooth 3gen limited edition and I have had it for like a month and I just dont think the cpu is good enough. So my question is if i should by the Intel i7 4770k or another graphicscard and go SLI with GTX 770. It can handel bf3 on ultra with little lag but other games it is bad FPS. Like on Euro Truck Simulator 2 it cant handel Ultra in the citys but on the higway it is a little bit laggy, and on ABP also bad fps, CS:GO like on bf3, and on minecraft it stands that i have betwen 150 and 400 fps but it lags any way. So dont know what to do? Help pleas!

Sorry for my bad English im from Sweden

Thanks

didnt want to read trough everything but, is your raid set to achi, is windows set to achi, check if trim is enabled,make sure you got the late4st chipset drivers, could also be the bios you could also try downloading ccleaner and run registry repair

 

[MrFunkRadical]

I don't think you need to jump straight to the best i7 processor. From my research it seems like its a huge jump in price when an i5 is just as good for gaming. Why don't you go for the i5 3570k and then put the rest of the money towards another card for SLI? Just a thought.

 

[Zerratastic]

Hi again, a litle late update now. It have been better but still same thing. I have played with fraps and on bf3 i have between 75 and 130 Fps mostly on 90 on Ultra but it feels like 30 fps. But when i have Vsync on its on stable 60 and it feels like it, but some times it come some lagspickes every 20 s and its not the ping. On the server i play the most on have I 12 ping. On Euro Truck it jumps between 60 and 40 fps all the time and i think thats why it is laggy. I thing it could be my windows. It is a fake /cracked Windows 7 Ultimate it could be that so i think Im going to buy Windows 8 Pro because I will get it for only 90$ insted of 400$.

I do believe it is your possessor acting as your bottleneck, because the 770 is an absolute amazing card.

I wish i knew more about AMD processors. There is no benifit getting a i7 over a i5. The only difference is hyper threading, which will only benefit you if you do rendering. Also I would go Ivy bridge instead of Haswell. The performance boost from Haswell is not worth the money as it is very pathetic. I would go a i5 - 3570k or a i7 - 3770k if you really want a i7. With the money you save from going that way you can buy a decent cooler and overclock your processor. Both those processors i listed can run Battlefield on Ultra perfectly even without being overclocked.

If you decide to add a second graphics card instead it will not fix your problem as your processor is still your bottle neck.

I hoped this helped!

you must have been droped on your head lately the AMD 8350 is fine for gaming 2nd card is the way to go

Yeah the 8350 is good but it isn't stable it jumps very much in fps it can't be stable so i will probebly go for a new processor next year.

That wouldn't be the CPU accounting for FPS instability. There would likely be a driver issue, do you have the newest version of BIOS for your motherboard? The newest drivers for your GPU?

I have the latest GPU drivers but i dont know if i have the latest BIOS how do i check that?

 

[8350rocks]

Check the Asus website and see what the newest supported version of BIOS is for your board. Then look in your BIOS at your startup screen and check the version.

Yeah i didnt have the newest BIOS i hade the 2nd out of 5 but how do i install it? is it any riskes? like the computer dont start or the windows dont work or if i need to install all the drivers again?

1. What PSU do you have?
2. Fire up a game that lags, then give us a screenshot of your processes from task manager
3. Make sure you close all the running applications and try again and see if there is a difference.
4. Update drivers and set your Video Card 3D settings to the default in the whatever the NVIDIA's control panel is called.

Also, you don't need to upgrade anything, both CPU and GPU are perfectly fine.
