(Unknown Cause) Performance issue

[MrSamBarber]

Yo,


My rig consists of:

• Mobo= Gigabyte AM3+ 78lmt-usb3
• GPU= Asus Turbo GTX 960
• CPU= FX-4300
• RAM= 8Gb 1333Mhz (speed is slow because mobo is crappy)
• SSD= 128Gb (OS and essential files)
• HD= 750Gb
• PSU= 500w
• OS= windows 10

so im not sure what my problem is, basically i get very poor performance in certain games which isnt consistent with other games.  for example i get 80-100fps on CSGO 1080p and a similar story for TF2, however shadow of mordor gives me 75fps on high settings 1080p (although it crashes like a B**ch).  then other games like battlefield 4 aren't changing in fps at all when i alter my settings.  the only noteworthy info i can give is that my drivers are up to date and i sometimes run shadow play (although the problems incurs whether this is on or not).

i can appreciate i haven't given much info but this is all i have to give, i'll try to reply if anyone needs to know something more to help.

 

thanks for the help

CPU is bottlenecking GPU I'm pretty sure.

You could try overclocking the CPU and see if anything changes.

You need to upgrade that CPU

cheers for the quick reply, would this be the case even though less intensive games are running poorly?

check your temperatures and cpu/gpu usage.   you're almost certainly getting bottlenecked

Like what kind of less intensive games?

CS:GO? Minecraft?

i mean that shadow of mordor performs how youd expect for my gpu.  however csgo is abotu 120-140 fps behind where it should be.  should SofM not be hit harder by a cpu bottlenck than csgo?

cpu intensive games/gpu intensive games............. middling cpu/middling gpu. lower you settings in mordor your hardware can't handle the game.

i dont know what you're trying to say here? my gtx960 is ample for shadow of mordor and this is proven in the fact that i get 75fps on high settings.  what im saying is why would an intensive game like this not be affected by the fx-4300 whereas csgo and other games are majorly affected by it?
