GTX 780 Not Performing :(

Can someone please help me as I recently got my self a GTX 780 and it isn't performing how I thought it would. I rarely can hold a flat 60fps on games. I'm talking games it should be able to do such as Rome 2, it holds only a rough 40 and drops quite a bit. I know Rome isn't a good example because of all the problems that game has been having but I will say some more. DayZ I can't max out as it drops to around 20fps. On well optimized servers it can hit 50 but never stays there. Planetside 2 it stays 40 or around that with drops. Arma 3 it runs at like 30 and rises to 40 or so sometimes. If you would like to know anymore then let me know. :(

Here are my specs.

Nvidia Geforce GTX 780

Intel Core i5 3570k

Asrock z77 Extreme 4

12GB Ram

OCZ ZX 1000W PSU

My heats reach quite high as I am yet to invest in good cooling I reach around 70-80C it most games. Although DayZ runs a 60C. I know the card Bottles 70C and above but still I don't expect this bad fps from such a powerful card. I mean my friend paid £200 or so for a Sapphire HD 7950 OC card and it beats mine all the way in fps and I paid £520 :eek: I just don't understand my bad fps. Someone please help...Thanks, sorry for this post being quite long but I am really let down so far with my cards performance and I really don't know what to do to improve it so therefore I am reaching out to other people haha.

Thanks Guys :D :confused: Let me know if you need any more info.

Good thread thanks but I searched up about heats and it says when it reaches 70C and above it begins to bottle the card?

GPU Boost 2.0

"So what's new? New starting at GeForce GTX with Kepler is a temperature target,
basically Kepler boards monitor a temperature (that you can define) and will try and meet that target.
The nominal baseline temperature is 80 degrees Celsius.
That is the balance in-between an acceptable temperature versus low noise levels.
If you configure the temperature target at 90 degrees and the power target has room left then Titan will increase the GPU Voltage a little bit.
It'll then clock faster on the Turbo frequency until it reaches the temperature and power targets.

Overclocking on that end will work the same as GPU boost will continue to work while overclocking, it stays restricted within the TDP bracket.
We'll show you that in out overclocking chapter.
The overclock tools like MSI Afterburner and EVGA precision will allow you to tweak and overclock based on power, voltage and heat targets.
With the soon to be released MSI AfterBurner 3.0.0 you will be able to control many new settings like an updated power limiter, temperature limiter and priority features.
In the monitor on the right side you can observe that the GPU is kept at 80 Degrees C at all times.
The card will lower voltage, clocks or whatever is needed to match the temperature target.

All these settings are configurable, so you may set a temperature target of 90 Degrees C as well, which will get you more performance at the cost of slightly more noise.
We'll discuss all this in our overclock article though."

3.80 GHz and resolution is 1080p
My drivers are the latest from Nvidia (Geforce 326.80)

latest stable drivers: 320.49, you sir are using beta drivers. first thing I would suggest is to use Stable only drivers....next the 320.x line of drivers are absolute crap so go ahead and try out 314.22 should using stable 320.49 not help.


next up at least OC the i5 to 4ghz, im using almost the same set up as you (Z77 extreme 4, i5 3570k) its super easy and the temps are not that much :)

also fan profile, if you have not set one, do it (I suggest MSI afterburner or precision X)

It's these cards mate they're just crap.

tell that to all the people that have 780's and love them



it would seem the latest beta drivers ARE a bad set (for a lot of people but not everyone) give stable a go please and report back.
 
It's a combination of cpu bottleneck and 2 of those 3 games being very cpu intensive/not optimised (Dayz and Planetside 2). Overclocking cpu would help quite a bit but PS2 and Dayz on most servers don't run great.
 
Have you thought about running the Heaven benchmark or similar to see how your set up compares to other people with similar gear? Would a 3570k really bottleneck that much or are they just very CPU dependent games?

I run 780 SLi with 2600k - admittedly at 4.5Ghz but i don't really notice it affecting my fps...
