PLEASE ANSWER Heavy Particles

[Lefteris Fousteris]

I built a new rig with an i3 3220
and when i look at particle effects there are massive FPS drops..

In gta san andreas when i do burnout the smoke particle effect comes out and it goes to about 20-30FPS

In sonic generation when i look at liquids (water&lava) there are also MASSIVE fps drops.

(This happens to every gpu I put in
Currently tried a HD 7770 & GTX 650)

The ram is an 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz XMS3 Corsair

(Cooling for the cpu isgrate and the cpu stays at about 30 degrees celcius)

I have HDMI for better quality and sound and an asus 1920x1080 monitor.

!!!WHAT COULD IT BE!!!

(I have tried putting the game to all of my 2 HDD [not the SSD because it is 64GB and i have it for the OS] but it was still FPS dropin'

Look at task manger> performance in game to see your cpu usage, look at the per core graphs not the overall usage. Use MSI afterburner to look at gpu usage. Which one is maxing out?
