Hi everyone,
I recently purchased old pc parts off two friends. I watched these parts working in action before I purchased them. The CPU (AMD Athlon ii X4 630 2.8GHz) and motherboard came from one friend who ran a GTX660 with his setup, his setup could run Battlefield 3 at 60+ frames on BF3. While the person I bought the GPU (AMD Radeon 4890) ran his setup with an old DDR2 motherboard socket intel cpu, and his setup ran Far Cry 3 at high running just over 30fps.
The CPU never had any framerate or stuttering issues with a GTX 660 which is alot more high end than a 4890. The 4890 also had no issues with the old as hell cpu it was using. So I decided to buy these parts.
To my surprise when i first started to play after I downloaded my GPU drivers my computer had a bottleneck effect. It struggles with CS GO, BF3 and lots of other games which is odd.
I have asked my friends and they have no explanation for this so I have taken this to the forums in hope of help. Any advice would do.
Cheers
