I need advice

[George8987]

I'm planning to upgrade my CPU FX-8350 many people keep telling that is causing a bottleneck for my R9 290X and so on.

The real issue for me is not being able to play Battlefield 1 without stuttering every 3-10 seconds or many new titles for that matter, and yes I have tried other cards such as the RX 480 8GB (brand new). But the same issue kept showing up, and now I've decided to try reaching out for people who could help me out with their knowledge.

if you could recommend me to what CPU I should get to be set for a long time I'll gladly appreciate it, I just don't wanna keep throwing out money to the thrash like i did with this build that i basically purchased 3 months ago.

So please keep that in mind.    Thank you

what resolution are you playing at? limit fps to 60 and it should just just find on high settings with your current PC.

Budget?

[George8987]

I tried every resolution there is available on my monitor, also set the settings to low, high ... but even in mafia 3 there is this stuttering that keeps happening and i try everything but nothing changes

$1,350 for CPU, Mobo or RAM? You could pull that off for $450 and that's going with 6700k, a mid-end mobo and a decent kit of RAM.

Your system should be able to play the game just fine, I looked into it a bit and seems like there were early issues with the game having glitches and not so much the hardware. Also how old is your OS now? if you are having issues in other games too, I would check to see if there are any unnecessary processes running in the background, taking up resources. I would also check temps and cpu/gpu usage when the game is running to see if its being pushed to the limit; if it's not, then it could very well be a corrupt driver or software issue. This is a bit more tricky to track down sometimes but the fastest solution would be to do a clean install of the OS and a fresh copy of the drivers.

I'm now up to date with windows 10 the latest update, yeah i have tried that changing the storage and so on but older titles run great and i did a fresh install from windows 3 times already, but so far nothing

But would that really be a reliable mobo and ram or what not?

Wow u can get 6700k or just wait for Ryzen..this month.. soon..millennium

thing is that there should be something out there that works for me, right? because i could wait but what then next time they come out with something i'll have to buy that too?

[Shura]

That's interesting, from the data I can find, your current setup should support the game just fine at 1080p at least. Can you use some monitoring programs to see what exactly is happening behind the scene when you play, like cpu/gpu/memory usage. Or do you just want to look for a new system?

reinstall windows and see if that helps also update drivers.

well I just got this new CPU, RAM and if it were for me I wouldn't right, but I'm not rich and yeah I have tried the monitoring programs.

 

 

[George8987]

Oh and that's the RX 480 8GB

Forgot about the cooler but https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rDJvsJ

Yes, reliable.

I'd wait for Ryzen though, might save $100 or so.

Sadly i have to sleep but u may need to check :

-Where did u store ur games? if HDD u may need to defrag the hdd

-Make sure its not network problem, maybe ur internet is too slow or have a weird ping spikes

-Make sure ur driver is up to date

-Did u use SSD or HDD for the OS ( i doubt this is the cause )

 

I had similar problem like u in the past when i play black ops 1 with my ancient core 2 duo with GTX 9800+

I change graphic cards and the memory but nothing.

But the weird problem is i have completed that game before with those rig and never had that issues.

I am unable to fix it.

Though its only on Black ops 1. other games are fine.

 

 

thank you goodnight

can you post a pic of your task manager so I can see how much resources is being used, while the game is running that is and also a pic of hwmonitor for temps and speed. thanks.

 

While you do that, turn of AA and ambient occlusion.
