Hey guys!

I recently bought a gaming pc and im struggling with it !
Here is an example:
Playing battlefiled 4, Teamspeak opened, browser is running- youtube skrillex concert is running.
And my FPS is like 60-75 on ultra any gamemodes but after 2 minute of gameplay it starts dropping as hell like its droppin' down to 11fps and that kinda stuff then back to normal then back to 23fps 😵
I honestly dont know why, maybe cuz the cpu is second handed ? :/
Specs:
CPU: Intel i5 2500k (not overclocked yet)
GPU:Gigabyte HD7950 3GB GDDR5
MOBO: ASUS Z77-A
RAM: 2x4GB Kingmax 1333mhz
PSU:Thermaltake Berlin 630Watt stable, up to 700Watt
Stock intel cpu fans ! Also i put up new cooling paste so really i dont know whats going on :/

Right know its annoying like im planning to sell this sh*t and buy fx6350 and AsRock 970 UD3 Mobo !
Thanks for the help !
ps.: Im playing on 720p when the drops are beggin and it barely playable at 30 fps :/
 
My bet would have been temperatures too, but those are even very low. What cpu and gpu usage do you get while gaming?
The psu might have problems (never heard of Thermaltake Berlin lol).

But whatever you do, don't go from one handed 2500k to a no leg no arm kind of 6300fx. That would be a ridiculous downgrade. Even going to a 9590fx would be one.
 


well okey my cpu usage is up to 70-99% :/ i dont know my gpu usage i mean how to check that :/
 


99% CPU usage would cause lag on any computer. Try disabling 2 cores (set affinity) in the task manager for the game/application that is using 99% of the CPU to see if you still getting the same lag. Then at least you know it's not a heating problem if this is the case.
 


I dont want to sound dumb but how can i disable cores in Taskmanager ? Im new in pc stuff i was shitty "consoledude", if you know what im sayin 😀 i just want to open a Youtube chanel and this isnt a stable rig at all :/
Another wuestion of mine (i dont want to open new thread) What GPU Do you recommend ? cuz i heard that nvidia make reeeally powerful and stable cards amd make the same expect tha stablity but lower price point i guess so can you help me whit theese ? I really appriciate if you do :)
 


Right click on the application that is using 99% of your resources and click "set affinity" then uncheck 2 CPU's then click OK.
 

didnt hleped :/

 


Many browser based videos including youtube are decoded by the GPU, not the CPU. This causes them to gobble up GPU resources and interfere with games. Try playing BF4 without anything running in the background and see what happens.
