Bought myself a new monitor and a 290x. Monitor is 1080p 144 hz. I want to play at 120hz at least. I still mostly play BF Bad Company 2 multiplayer.
FRAPS shows me two things:
- Very high FPS when spawning in my base (150+)
- Then in the city, more crowed place it drops down to 90
Later FPS is what you mostly get in any combat scene.
CPU:
i7-870 overclocked to 3.4 Ghz (with turbo active).
With my old display (1680x1050) and old GPU (HD 5850) I was running at 60 fps with a few drops into low 50ties. This is confusing as I would expect a 290x to easily reach 120 fps in comparison to this.
Looks like a CPU bottleneck? However in that scenario with 90 FPS I opened CCC and the Overdrive part and it showed me like 98% GPU usage while CPU usage was at around 45% (spread over all threads). Still I know that 50% usage could already indicate a CPU bottleneck. Also keep in mind that this is PCIe 2.0 (not 3.0). Could that be an issue?
What do you guys think?
