Hi there,
I'm interested in everyone's opinions on what could be the issue with my system. Below is the scenario.
My system (mainly 2007/2008 parts):
Intel E8400
DDR2 1066
MB: Asus P5K-E (p35)
ATI HD 4870
750w PSU - bought 2013
SSD Samsung 840Pro - bought 2013
**I just upgraded to ATI R9 270 (Nov 2013) (OC'd to 1050 core and 1500 mem clock with afterburner).**
I am still getting frame rates in games like guild wars 2 and SWTOR that drop below 30 FPS on the regular with my graphics setting mostly on high/very high + (AA on low or 1x/2x). When I check the monitor in MSI's afterburner program I am showing my GPU usage never goes above 40%.. With the ATI HD 4870 I would get similar FPS but on med settings (no AA) instead of high.
Shouldn't I be getting 60 FPS all the time on these games? They came out 2011 and 2012!
My computer, like it has been since I built it, is snappy overall (multitasking programs/games/downloading, transferring large files, etc). VERY snappy since I got the SSD last year.
Any advice would be helpful. Especially methods I could use to test your theories on what the actual problem is.
Thank you for the help!
