fallout 4 frame rate issues with fallout 4

[leroy94]

Hi everyone, i've been noticing a frame rate issue with fallout 4 & some other games.

i've updated to the latest driver and even tried crossfiring it (that just causes more issues).i'm not sure what could be causing the issue i.e is the cpu bottlenecking the gpu, the other way around or is it just the game.

 

my system is as below

 

CPU: i7-4790k (stock clock speed with turbo boost)

GPU: asus directcu II R9 390 (this may well be the culprit)(factory overclock) 

motherboard: asus Z97-AR

RAM: Hyperx savage 1866 16gb

game storage location: sandisk ultra II ssd

 

both the gpu and cpu are also water cooled so i dont think its a thermal throttling issue as neither get above 50 degrees , my old R9 290x seemed to handle it better (not perfectly) but its a gigabyte windforce card and it thermals and noise are terrible. 

 

something to perhaps note as well is that there is a very small amount of coil whine on the asus gpu. what would be the best way to try to eliminate this issue switch over to a 980?

my 970 coil whines like a thousand souls screaming from the deep pits of hell when its doing synthetic benchmarks

 

try uninstalling your gpu driver using ddu and install the latest ones?

i'll give this ago now, and let you know.

AMD's driver overhead can be a problem in that game in certain area's.

 

 

Note; this benchmark does not reflect ALL area's. Before you get all your fanboy knickers in a twist.

well i tried the ddu and that didn't work unfortunately.

from the graph it seems like a 980 would be the way to go, it would probs give better performance in general, in your opinion would the 4790k bottleneck that gpu?

also dont worry im no AMD fan boy i had a FX8350 before i switched over to the i7 and it was awful i had games that would barely run at 30fps and the thermals were just horrid.

(with nerdy sound) b-b-but his 4790k should overcome that cpu overhead and you're just dumb /s (s for stupidity, not sarcasm)

Well a 980 is generally faster than a 390, that includes DX12. But in this game specifically yes. But it will come at a premium compared to the 390, are you willing to pay that because you're experiencing framedrops in one game?

 

No, 4790K is in no way or shape a hinderance to a 980.

at this moment in time no, but i will be looking to replace it around this time next year after the new nvidia cards come out and i sort a few other things out so that i can get into VR and all that kind of good stuff.
