Hi guys, just bought a gtx 980ti to replace my gtx 770. I had it running just fine tested on some skyrim with no problems but on Mass Effect Andromeda i get 15 to 30 fps on ultra preset. Is that normal? I know my cpu is to week but was expecting 45+ playable. Is there anything I can do? Some setting that are more of a cpu bound? Or do I have to buy i7 3770 to enjoy it? My mob is not overclockable so i cant push my i3... btw cpu is at 100% while runing ME A but on skyrim is 50/70% Any ideas?

The answer is in your post. Your cpu is the issue.
Would I7 3770 no K as I cant OC get me 100% out of that card?
Would it be possible to disable some setting to get it running but not make it potato graphic?
no you basically have a CPU thats not designed for games. Normally in your scenario with a K you would just OC the CPU to give you a bit more but you can't.
You either get a decent i5 or i7 3xxx CPU or upgrade your motherboard/cpu

Skyrim is quite a CPU demanding game that don't use more than 2 threads/CPU cores; a stock clock i3 would be a huge bottleneck, even if you were still on your 770.
I had been playing with Watch Dogs 2 just to see how it works. I get 35 to 45 fps on all max settings with TAXX x4. So far only ME A is the game that is unplayable. I came to a conclusion that CPU upgrade is needed but that's a discussion for CPU section of forum. Thank you guys for help.
