Posted November 29, 2014 Hi forum, I am not getting the performance I am expecting out of PC (Specs down below). I purchased Watch Dogs and Dragon Age: Inquisition and neither of them run smoothly. Upon further examination I realized that the activity level on my GPU ( Radeon HD 7970 Ghz) was only reaching 60%. Is this what would cause the issue, and if so how would I fix it? Specific Problems with each game: Watch Dogs: On lowest settings it only hits 50 fps, on ultra it hovers around 30 DAI: Hovers around 30 fps, about every 30 seconds or so it drops to 0 then jumps back up to 30 According to various benchmarking websites my GPU should be able to at least hit 45 fps on ultra. I am running on the latest AMD drivers. Any help with these various problems would be greatly appreciated.

Posted November 29, 2014 Author The CPU usage hovers between 30 - 50% CPU: AMD FX 8350 GPU: Reference GTX 980ti Motherboard: Gigabyte 990fxa-Ud3 (rev. 4.0) RAM: 16GB 1600 Speed Memory Power Supply: Corsair CX600m 600 watt PSU Case: NZXT H440 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 29, 2014 The CPU usage hovers between 30 - 50% So your CPU isn't a bottleneck(unless if certain cores are being maxed while the other idle cores are giving you the average of 30-50%). Not sure what to say other than that you might have some driver issues. *Risky click of the day* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
