So here's my rig:
Core i3-3220
8GB of RAM
GTX 660
Now, it may make sense that my i3 would, to some extent, limit my FPS in games like Battlefield and Crysis 3, but my frame rates are low in the original Crysis. I'm playing on a mixture of high and very high, with 8xAA at 1920x1080. So this isn't even the max settings on a game that's five years old. Why is my rig struggling so much? I should be getting 60+ fps with these settings, but I'm getting somewhere in the 30s. My graphics card can't be the issue. My RAM can't be the issue. And my CPU can't be the issue. All of them are beyond the high end of hardware from five years ago. I also updated my Nvidia drivers to 310.90. I have no idea what the issue could possibly be. Does anyone have any ideas?
