I ran Crysis and Crysis 3 on both my rig and my nephew's rig. I have severe tearing on my screen and slow downs both games. I can't get full screen to work on my end as well. I have a 27" AOC IPS LED Monitor. On my nephew's rig he gets about 24-30fps but its very smooth, no tearing, no lag or stuttering. I get about the same fps as him,but mine is extremely choppy, slow and not playable at all. I did this on both single and xfire setup. I have a much more expensive setup than him which is very sad lol!
EDIT: Is there a right way to hook up the HDMI cable to a xfire gpu? Do I put it on the top or second card?
Like I said my ram is 1333mhz,but why am I only getting 667mhz? Oh by the way how do I reset my bios? Do I just set it to default? Or Do i have to take out the cmos battery out? It still has the latest bios update from MSI which I flashed months ago when I first purchased the mobo.
On Bios the setting is set to MSI 1 second OC and wasn't set on standard. After putting it to standard. Crysis 1 was very playable set to very high settings and was pretty smooth.
If you have a DVI cable handy try it. I've had bad luck with an HDMI cable and 7850 in the past.
In Crysis, I notice you're running 8x anti-aliasing, which is probably not realistic with any setup. Turn that down and you should see dramatic improvements in framerate. I don't even consider it to be part of "maxing" a game out, as anti-aliasing set high enough can bring most any card to its knees.
Do you have 8xAA enabled in DayZ as well? From your video, it looks like the game is "hitching". Turning up AA can cause the game to exceed the amount of memory your video cards have, resulting in them hitting your much slower system memory to store data. Another possibility is that you are exceeding the amount of system memory you have, and that in turn is hitting your hard drive to store data. You can see your total system memory used in task manager.
It sounds like your CPU might have been overheating and throttling when overclocked. Try monitoring your temperatures using HWMonitor and noting the Max column after the gaming session.
I get about 8-13c on idle.
8-13c on idle and 45 full load?! Are you sure that you have that reading correct? That's lower than some mobile Broadwell chips get at idle and FX chips typically do get warmer than that unless you have some really heavy duty cooling on that chip.
Maybe I'm exaggerating a little. I did get pretty low temps on idle way below 20c till I changed up my thermal paste to try out to a one call Shin Entsu heard good things about it and turns out its not as good as I thought it was. I got better temps with the thermaltake TG3.
I'm running a closed loop water cpu cooler by Antec Kuhler H20 650.
I can't find a way to show my temps on my osd while gaming. I tried MSI, Rivatuner and Hwinfo. Only shows cpu usage, percentages and to see where I bottleneck.
