First off I want to say that, if you feel that this is off topic, please move it somewhere else cause I want this to be in the correct section, except I couldnt find one.
So basically my problem is that I have major problems when playing first person shooter games.
My guns are really inaccurate , I get a major delay in-game, as with player models updating slowly and my bullets hitting the player slowly.
How I found this out:
I played around 200 hours of BF3 after I had bought my computer some months before it came out. I didnt know of any problems back then because I did not know what was good or not. (Believe it or not I had the most ridiculous disadvantage one has ever seen in gaming, not even kidding). I started watching youtube videos and was thinking to myself, HEY, That is not how my guns act. I went into servers trying recoil out and all that stuff and my guns were not as accurate as other people's. And I had WAY better aim than them.
So I decided, heck, Im gonna record my gameplay and see how it actually looks for me, maybe I am just imagining it all. So I recorded gameplay with fraps. And I noticed a MAJOOOOOR, Im telling you, MAJOR accuracy increase of guns and how the game worked. I was wondering why that was just because I was recording. I later found out that it was because my CPU had a boost mode that put it from 2,8 ghz to 3,3 ghz when in load. (My CPU was a 1055T and I didnt know anything about computers back then, around february). So I wanted to try this overclocking thing, My friends told me some stuff about it, how it removed your warranty and ***. I didnt care about that, Which I regret.
So I bought a CPU cooler, a Good one. I put it on the computer so I could overclock my CPU. I overclocked it to 3,3. I felt that it was good, but I could get it better. So I overclocked it to 3,5. And that is where I nailed it. Finally my game was fixed after all these months.. Atleast that's what I thought. So I played like that for a week or so, and it was all smiling faces from me and I absolutely LOVED it.
Then 1 day after that week it all became worse. I was baffled, I tried with so many things to fix it, nothing helped, unfortunately. So I overclocked it to around 3,7 and it was all good again, for about a week again. Then it became worse.. AGAIN. I had done so good in that week that I also got in a competetive team! But whatever. Now I was stuck, I could do nothing. I could not overclock it any further than 3,8 cause then I would get problems, crashes, blue screens etc.
So I tried a new CPU. I got it for 50% off from Webhallen. An AMD Phenom 965. I tried it, it did not fix the problem.
And here I am right now, typing this post. Trying to figure out what the hell is bottlenecking my computer.
My system specs:
GA-870A-UD3 GIGABYTE Motherboard
BENQ 21,5 inch monitor
You already know the CPU.
Radeon HD 6950 graphics card
500W power supply
500GB Hard drive
4 GB of RAM, (I have tried 8 gigs of RAM which I borrowed from a friend , didnt fix the problem)
Things I have tried to fix my problem:
Updating BIOS, Helped performance but didnt fix anything.
GPU drivers, tried so many. Tried removing them, not fixing anything.
Played other games, I have the same problem in every first person shooter that I've played. (BC2, BF3, Call of Duty 4, MW3 (Free weekend), Medal of honor)
My friend has been over to my house and said it was probably the shittiest computer he ever played on and confirmed that I had a major issue.
Overclocking memory, nada.
Tried different connections, it is not my internet. http://www.speedtest.net/result/2282496226.png
Checked if DPC was causing any problems, I do not know. but I dont think it causes any of my problems.
If you read this whole post, thank you.
What I need to know is, what is causing this problem and what I can do to fix it. Why does overclocking my CPU help with it in the first place? What part of my computer is bottlenecking?
