fps question max payne 3

[hardcore_gamer29]

yes then?

Usually if there is a CPU bottleneck then it is CPU usage that will be near 100%, not GPU usage. However that's just a generalisation.

So, investigate the CPU issue. E.g., run some kind of CPU stress testing program (e.g., LinX) while running something CPU-Z and RealTemp so you can see what's happening. Check whether the CPU is reaching full clocks and then throttling down for some reason, OR if it's never reaching full clocks. In both cases, I suspect you will have grounds for starting a meaningful dialogue with Intel about the issue, and possibly an RMA of the CPU.

ok black i downloaded linx and ran it cpu was changing like 3392mhz thn 3400 thn 3691 clocks and
see this mans score:http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/6967176

It does not say what overclock he may have. It is very hard to judge based on what 3dmark says since it does not tell you boost clocks.

the 2500k's stock clockspeed is 3.3Ghz (3.7Ghz with Turbo Boost) so it seems to be running fine in LinX. The question, therefore, is why it's only going up to 2.5Ghz in 3DMark and (presumably) in games...

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

dont know why 2.5 in 3dmark but in games its 3691mhz

 

[Black Octagon]

In games too? Ah then it's not a CPU bottleneck! The plot thickens...
I don't suppose a friend has the same or a similar card and would be willing to lend it to you?
Alternatively, try benchmarks other than 3DMark. If you can get one running 'normally' (with everything clocking as it should) then you can compare GPU and CPU results to what is normal for a rig such as yours

Out of curiosity have you tried the latest beta drivers?

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

beta yes even 326.41 but bad luck here 1 replied to me as same problem http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01THe2C8ZZw

seems cpu isnt going beyond 3392mhz

 

[Jaydip]

That is fine.

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

thn why fps dips oc cpu? or what my gpu 100% ok na or driver issue?

 

[cmdrdredd]

Have you tried turning OFF AA? Your FPS is looking fine, but maybe with too much AA it's bogging down?

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

yes completely turned off aa same dips to 21 when explosion

Take a screenshot of your video settings in BF3.
Take a screenshot of your GPU-Z window.
Take a screenshot of the HWMonitor (from www.cpuid.org) AFTER playing 15 minutes of BF3.

And post them here.

 

[cmdrdredd]

Each time I see this thread I try to think of something else that I'd try if this were me, I'm stumped. Everything checks out, and your 3dmark score isn't that far off the mark for a stock config.

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

what do u mean 3dmark score not normal? how much it should bE

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

mrstryker for u only

Turn msaa off in battlefield 3 then let us know. I asked that earlier.

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

yes same result with msaa completely off in bf3 but in maxpayne 3 117 fps with aa off
and here is my 3dmark score again with power optionset to max in windows with cpu 3591 but score is low this time1. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7020450 2.http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7009917 3.http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7007577

how they r diffrent

 

[MrStryker]

Ultra WILL kill your FPS. With a GTX 780 I play on Low/Medium at 2560x1400 just to maintain 100 FPS on my Yamakasi Catleap. And this is with a 4670k at 4.7GHz. Dips bother the hell outta me.

 

[hardcore_gamer29]

bro i am telling u again with msaa off in bf3 same dips

 

[Jaydip]

I am really at a loss here, unless you CPU or GPU is throttling I have no other explanations.

 

[MrStryker]

Just trust me. MSAA doesn't do shit, just lower to Medium or High. You can't expect smooth gameplay with Ultra.

 

[MrStryker]

Or you could probably overclock your 2500K (I mean, what's the point of having a K-chip if you don't overclock it) to at least 4.2 to 4.4, it should be doable with a small bump in volts and the extra heat wouldn't be that much more.
