Why does it seem like I have had a performance decrease?

[bandan11]

Lately I have been having a decrease in fps by nearly half in all the games I play to the point where they're unplayable some examples are in war thunder having my fps go down to thirty instead of a steady 60 or dayz barely running. Note: My specs are a gigabyte 990fx ud3+ motherboard, 600 watt psu, 2 x 4 gb kingston ram, fx-8120 cpu and a radeon 7790 gpu.

Temps?

Temps?

Cpu only goes up to about 29 degrees Celsius when playing games and gpu goes to about 47 degrees Celsius while playing games.

Are you sure about that? That seems super low for playing games.

 

Are all of your cores enabled in the BIOS?

Yes I am quite sure I also have CCC set all on performance. I am thinking of over clocking my cpu but I am not sure what would be the safest settings to OC at

Most likely drivers need re-installing

AMD is weird with temps. Same on my wife's computer with an FX-6100.

What would be the best drivers for my system?

That can't be right unless you're water cooling

The ones made for your parts. Get the latest AMD drivers from http://www.amd.com/

Yup kuhler 620

How is your GPU so cool?

When I play games the gpu usage fluctuates

Though I know everyone hates on the old FX 8100 series, it could definitely be that. Those processors are getting up there in their age and weren't too fast to being with.

That's what I'm thinking as well

maybe the mainboard VRMs start overheating, but your board have adequate VRMs cooling. are you using windows 7? did you install the update to disable core parking? what is the CPU freq when u playing games?

Well I tried the core parking but it seems to be no issues with it after using a core park disabling program and didn't give me any option to unpark the cpu. The base Frequency is 3.1 ghz Atm.

Set Windows to High Performance

Set APM to disabled

Set HPC to enabled

 

 

Your CPU and GPU temps are quite low. See if you can start to apply a CPU overclock if you can and test the GPU in Heaven Benchmark. If it can't pass through the benchmark at the stock voltage and core speed the GPU may need to be RMAed.
