What is holding me back?

RAM comes in 2133 1866 1600 1333 1066 and 800, so at a minimum I would get matching ram at 2122, 1866 maybe 1600.

 

16GB is plenty with your mix and match it reverts to lowest so with yours its 800 and 667.

Is not 667 DDR2?

If its 667 showing up and its ddr3 then problemo.

Im pretty new in PC tech, as Im more of a car guy but onto the things...

I built a gaming PC a long while ago (like 4-5years), I had Nvidia GTX 660, which I swap over to 980ti, but the performance just isnt there.

I will list my setup here , and I would love any advice what is the main problem (also I will attach CPU-Z report in files)

 

CPU - Intel core i5 4570

 

Mainboard - Asus H87M-Pro

 

Memory- 16gb DDR3 (Slot 1 - Corsair 4gb (667MHz) Slot 2 - Kingston 4GB (800MHz) Slot 3 - Corsair 4gb (667MHz) Slot 4 - Kingston 4GB (800MHz) )

 

Graphics card - Nvidia GeForce 980Ti 6GB

 

I would appreciate any help, I would love to get more into PC, but Im newbie to this...

 

Thanks

what kind of applications are you unhappy with the performance? 

your cpu could be holding you back. the 4570 is only 4 core 4 thread @ 3.6ghz boost. That could bottleneck certain applications

What resolution are you playing at? What games? Why is your RAM speed so low?

1080p, and while playing for example GTA V on medium settings I get just around 40-55 fps. Also I have just HDD without SSD (I cheaped out as student), could it be a problem?

We need to know what you are having problems with in order to help you. If you say games, as most people do without listing what games those are and at what settings do you play at then its like saying your wife wants a Red Car. Because I play Windows Chess and Tetris and those are games.

 

Besides that, the 4th gen intel's are good computers, so there is no need to upgrade your cpu or motherboard. The ram is ddr3 which is still relevant in todays pc world.

That is your GPU for fps, but 40-55fps should be alright I would think.

 

Your only upgrade path is a newer gpu but the 980ti is still great gpu.

For FPS its all in the gpu.

 

SSD just loads programs faster, like O/S load in 20 seconds type deal.

the hdd only affects load times so that won't hold you back while gaming. gta 5 is fairly cpu intensive game. i would lower certain settings like the number of AIs that spawn, or how far away they spawn (i forget the terms they use exactly in the game)

Sorry, Im not the forum guy.

 

Yeah everything from forza horizon 4 trough GTA V to Counter strike. I have significant FPS drops in most games (minecraft included) between 25-50 fps (with Vsync off). All the benchmarks I did were below average with lower setups than I have. (I will post it as soon as I do the benchmark).

I wiped my pc 2 months ago, there shouldnt be anything slowing it down. also my disc is usually used up to 100% all the time.

BTW thanks for reply.

Just one more question, does the 1600 MHz on name of memory card  mean that it should running on 1600MHz? because from what I see it runs just on the 667MHZ...

Maybe Im just combining 2 different things.

But thanks for the help, ill find new Graphics card when ill get my paycheck...

Get a larger HDD and spread that data out between your current hdd and your new hdd.

Put your O/S on the new HDD. Fresh install of O/S. Be sure your drivers are up to date on the gpu.
