FPS drops

Xthread

Hi guys!

I'll make it short:

 

Just bought a new GPU, and I know its being bottlenecked by the MOBO and RAM. So I changed the RAM, it helped a little bit.. But it still has huge FPS during games (the computer is only used for LoL) during the game it has stable 60 FPS, but when it gets to "team fighting" (where all the "action" happens). I'm wandering if the PSU is affecting so hugely.

Specs:

 

CPU: I7-2700K
GPU: R9 270X

MOBO: Mid-Range MOBO (cant tell you the chipset ATM)
PSU: 500W (Generic)

 

Just want to know what do you think, I dont want to buy a new MOBO (yet at least) if I can just buy a PSU for now...

How much ram have you got at the moment?

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

I3 4150, Intel HD graphics, corsair CX750M, 4gb ram, Asus H81M-E, corsair 230T, Intel stock cooler WD Green 2TB Gigabyte 550TI

Why you shouldn't trust Gpu or Cpu boss Click on this I dare you!

Sounds like your saying when things get graphically intensive your fps drop? seems normal. But if its dropping to unusual degrees keep an eye on your temperatures.

 

 

Also your GPU is fine with your CPU and PSU wattage (depending if that PSU is any good and can provide a good stable power source).

What do you mean it's bottlenecked by your motherboard?

a motherboard doesnt bottleneck, its a motherboard..... if its fps drops its most  likely the gpu drivers, os or game.

Gpu: MSI 4G GTX 970 | Cpu: i5 4690k @4.6Ghz 1.23v | Cpu Cooler: Cryorig r1 ultimate | Ram: 1600mhz 2x8Gb corsair vengeance | Storage: sandisk ultra ii 128gb (os) 1TB WD Green | Psu: evga supernova g1 650watt | Case: fractal define s windowed |

A motherboard has nothing to do with fps. There no way a 270 would be bottlencked by your system. Maybe the card is defective or an issue with league? 60 fps doesn't sound right.

I have 4Gigs of DDR3 CL7 single channel ATM (1x4G)

Yep, FPS drop from 60 to 14/15 then go back to normal in 3 seconds or so..

Well, having a mid/low end MOBO with that GPU is no good, so what I mean is that the MOBO is holding back the GPU.

Also, the monitor I'm using is a VGA.

Again. Motherboards have nothing to do with holding back a video card. The pci'e lane is the only thing affects performance. And most if not all boards have pci-e x16 lanes.

Oh, ok! I was completely wrong on that then! xS! THX for the info!

 

EDIT:

I have another system with a R9 270X and I have no problems, (CPU: 8150, same RAM, 700W 80+ gold PSU)

Having it capped to 60 makes it more stable but still... It drops on these intensive moments..
When uncapped, on the rig I'm posting about it gets to 160 and goes up and down, to 90 or even 70...

And then it drops to 14 fps or so for two seconds during the graphically intensive moments, then goes back up and repeats...

We don't even know what games you're playing.

League has a setting that prevents it from going above the monitors refresh rate which is enabled in defaults. This is why its at 60

Thats why I asked in a l8er comment if you read the whole thing.

Playing League of Legends. Sorry thought I did say...

Hmm so it drops both capped and uncapped.Well have you tried any other games?IMO is has to be the card causing the fps drop. Can you watch gpu/cpu usage and temps. MSI afterburner is a good program if you don't have something to monitor the gpu/cpu.  Download GPU-Z and check what the bus interface is. I did a quick google search and there seems to be others with 270x having similar issues..Maybe try an older driver or  the beta driver if your not using that..

If you only have 4gb of ram then that will be causing you problems.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.
