270X problems

I recently built my brother a pc for christmas because he likes to play games, he originally was playing games on his mackbook pro (He hasn't even touched it since i built him the pc lol).

 

Anyway his specs are:

Athlon X4 740

8GB Kingston Hyperx fury in dual channel 

R7 250X

 

Mine are:

Athlon X4 760K

8GB ADATA XPG v1 only a single dimm

R9 270x

 

And yet he runs Elder Scrolls Online better than i do at the same setting, any ideas what could be causing that? We both play at 1080p.

Always.

Why don't you try a benchmark on both PC's? Just to be sure it's not on that game only.

Something like a 3DMark benchmark?

One of my guess is bottlenecking but i haven't heard about a case like this before so most likely you are having driver issues. Are both computer running on the same operating system and the same gpu driver ?

Yes they are.

How much of a performance gap are you seeing ? What are the fps differences in game ?

in firestrike he gets a 2964 and i get 5122.

Can you monitor CPU and GPU usage during playing?

I think Windows Task Manager and MSI Afterburner will do, but I am not very familiar with it all..

(I'm suspecting a CPU bottleneck on your PC)

Yeah but even when bottle neck a system with a better gpu will still perform better plus his cpu is better then his brother so i find it really weird that a weaker cpu and gpu can get better fps.

Maybe its performing like that because you don't have a dual channel memory configuration?, that is the only thing that I see where you should be "under performing"

 

Try your brother's ram in your pc and test if there is any difference.

 

Just a thought.

No dual channel memory doesn't effect anything when you are gaming. The only thing i can think of that can explain this is the TESO has great optimization for low end gpu xD
