FPS issue, any thoughts?

[Galagger]

Hello everyone!

I have a GA-990FXA-D3 motherboard with an AMD FX6300, 8GB Corsair RAM and an ASUS GTX 770 which I upgraded from GTX560 and now starts the issue I have. I am mostly playing games (go figure) in a perticular game that I play I had low frames with the GTX560 (25-40 fps). I thought it was the grafix so I upgraded it BUT with the GTX770 I only got to 45-60fps. I wasnt very satisfied but what the hell, I went with it for a few weeks. Then I took my GTX770 and installed it on a B85 ASUS MB with G3258CPU and tested my game of choice. The fps were 80-100 !!!

WTF guys! I mean really., what is going on? FX6300 is supposed to be good for games, or is it the MB fault? Anyone has any thoughts for the matter? I am open to suggestions.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

 

*The FX6300 is running at 4100Mhz and the G3258 at 3600Mhz

Welcome to the forum.

 

It seems like the games you're playing don't really use threading. Which games are these?

I'd recommend overclocking your G3258 to at least 4GHz if you can.

What game are you testing this with?

A couple games are heavily CPU dependant and wont perform well on an AMD CPU even if you have a Titan Black or triple 980s

The particular game you're playing might not be well optimized to use multicore setups. The G32 has much better single core performance so in a handful of games that don't levy multicore setups it will do better than an amd hexa or octa core chip.

I had a similar issue with my old FM2 A10 5700 cpu and compatible asus fm2 motherboard. Slapped a gtx 660 in it and games like bf4 still ran kinda choppy and couldn't turn the graphics all the way up. Switched to a 4690k and z97 mobo and now the only thing holding me back is the 660 itself, but the game itself still saw a massive improvement.

Who told you the FX6300 was good for games?

It's a cheap budget CPU from AMD with horrible single core performance (what matters in games)

You should definitely use the pentium instead. (and overclock it! 4.5+ GHz!)

Thank you all for your replies!

The game I mostly play and did the fps test is World of Tanks.
