Hey everyone, so I've run into a little issue with my new Intel Core 2 Quad CPU (q8300 @ 2.50GHz)
I was using this CPU in an old Asus motherboard that came stock with a desktop I bought about 3 years ago, along with a 430w PSU and a Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT Graphics card.
Playing Minecraft I used to get 125-170 FPS with everything in my settings pushed to the max.
Now, with my new XFX motherboard, I only get around 15-30 FPS with the same settings. I'm very disappointed because I was getting blue screens with my old motherboard because the RAM I had installed on it couldn't cooperate with this CPU, now with a new Motherboard and RAM, it just doesn't perform as good. (I had 16 GB of RAM in the old one, now only 4, but I don't believe that matters. Correct me if I'm wrong.) but any other game I played had the same affect on it. Reduced FPS.
So what I'm asking here is if I have an insufficient Power Supply, or not enough RAM? Or what? I'm stumped. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
(I don't overclock)
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.50GHz
4.00 GB RAM installed
Windows 8.1 - 64 bit
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT
