780Ti Underperforming

[vellaaa]

Hi guys 

 

im just having trouble with my new 780Ti from Gigabyte. i am playing games like assassins creed IV and COD ghosts just to test it so far and am getting significant lag in both games. In Assassins creed, i have used the recommended settings through GeForce experience and have had significant FPS drops as low as 30fps. its only when i drop settings to medium/low do i get a solid 60fps. As far as what i have seen online, people with 780Ti cards are maxing this game and still getting significantly better frame rates than i am. 

 

i have tried uninstalling drivers and making sure they are up to date but im really not sure what to do now so any help would be much appreciated.

 

thanks

What is your CPU? My 4670k@4,8Ghz bottlenecks my R9 290 at 1440p ultra. AC4 is a badly ported game, and almost only uses a single thread.

Any open world game is going to be cpu intensive. What's the rest of your setup.

i have a 4670k at stock speeds and i play at 1080p

Well that shouldn't bottleneck it to hard so what is the rest of your system other then that? Do you for example got 4 GB of RAM or some other bottleneck like that?

 i have a MSI GD-65 gaming mobo and 8gb Ram

if it is the CPU possibly bottlenecking it, would have getting a i7 have helped at all?

Check is your cpu usage at 100 when you play.

Practically the only difference between the 4670k and 4770k is that the 4770k supports hyperthreading, so it can simulate 8 cores, however it are actually 4. And Intel put much more marketing budget in their i7's. But because this game leans on one thread, it won't make a difference (when ignoring the slightly higer clock speed of the 4770k). What I would do is

 

• Install the newest Nvidia drivers.
• Install GPU-Z and check if your GPU is loaded (100%?)  
• Open task manager and see how your CPU usage is.
• Overclock your CPU.

hmmm, ok i will give that a go

one thing i still dont understand is the poor performance in COD ghosts and borderlands 2. I mean i bought this card thinking that it would destroy games like that and even games like assassins creed

COD Ghosts is for peasants.

I don't know anything about borderlands 2 though. Graphics look interesting, maybe I will give it a go in the next steam sale.

yea its just one of the games ive been testing it out on.... so to determine if this is the card under performing what tests can i run?

[meneervent]

You could try 3dmark or unigine valley and compare that to results of others. Or battlefield 3/4, Crysis 3, Tomb raider or another fairly well optimized game.

CoD Ghosts has significant FPS drops, that game is so bad, it even "lags" on my Crossfire 280X

I know but I'm too lazy for that
