My PC

[Vijay Ganesh]

Hi guys,

 

My PC specs:

 

Processor - AMD FX 4300

 

MoBo - Asus M5A78L-M/USB3

 

PSU - Corsair VS 550w

 

RAM - 4GB 1600mhz Corsair

 

GPU - XFX R9 270 Double Dissipation

 

I built this computer and i am using an old Monitor which only has a VGA cable,So i used the DVI to VGA Converter.

 

The Problem is my friend who owns and GTX 660 plays COD MW2 1080p Maxed out and gets 250fps

and i play at 1366x768 Resolution maxed out and i get only 200 - 225 fps, so if i use a converter does it affect the performance of my GPU.

 

Please do help me out.

No the converter does not affect FPS in game.

Does it really matter if your FPS in game is so high?

The VGA-DVI adapter will not effect your GPUs performance in any way. Also you will not notice the difference in FPS anyway because 200+ FPS is much faster than the human eye can perceive, and your monitor refreshes at 60 Hz, therefore effectively limiting your FPS to 60 anyway. I wouldn't worry about it, its probably the different drivers that are causing the difference in performance

Your monitor can not even show you that many fps, so it doesn't really matter... :-)

- double post, sorry

Thanks to your replies , can you say which driver could solve this issue and as i said i'm playing it on 720p and my friend playing on 1080p so i should probably have more frames than him, i know that only 60 frames can be displayed . The question now is that my GPU is getting wasted? and there must be some difference between both of our frames right?

At that level, your CPU and possibly your RAM is the bottleneck. Not the GPU.

If so My Friend owns an I5 2320 and Asus R9 270x and 8gb RAM he also gets the same FPS as i would get and he also uses an VGA Monitor.

[Spoilt]

Well, in theory converting digital signal to analog signal does take a little performance hit. Only way to find out is to plug your pc into a monitor with native dvi/hdmi/displayPort.

 

Maybe the 250~ fps is the max the CPU/RAM/PCI-E can handle. In a sense that the GPU is waiting for the rest of the system to give the data needed and then it needs to render+convert the image which lowers it to 200-225 fps region.

 

I, of course have no source or proof of this. I didn't care enough once the fps goes more than 60
