Okay guys. So im in the process of upgrading my system, and i threw a R9 290X 4GB card into my somewhat old system. (i7 950, 6GB Corsair RAM, Corsair TX 650W PSU <-- Specs to the side) before i order the rest (http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/LDVq99).
Any who. I am an avid streamer, and i used to play and stream Evolve + H1Z1 pretty comfortably. Since installing the new GPU, it seems my CPU is maxed at 100%, mem at 5.60GB/6GB and generally streaming has become sluggish/stuttering. Most noticeably stuttering in games that otherwise ran well while i streamed.
Is it the PSU? CPU/MEM bottlenecking or something?
Evolve for example runs at full 4GB GPU usage according to GPUZ, but runs noticeably worse than when i had my ATi 6950 2GB.
H1Z1 runs slightly slower than before.
GTA 5 on the other hand runs like a dream (???).
Any ideas what's slowing me down? With the CPU at such high usage during streaming, it stutters and generally feels like crap and i'd really like to start again.
Appreciate any/all input. Have completely cleaned, reinstalled drivers using DDU, ran PC maintenance, cleaners, reg fixers etc. Thanks guys!
