Posted this is Card and CPU section sorry for posting twice but wasn't sure where to put it as I am new to these forums. I recently picked up a Nvidia GTX 570 and installed it fine.
Although it doesn't play well as there is bad fps on most games. I have a friend with this card with similar specs as me and he gets triple if not quadruple the fps that I get. For example a game that isn't graphic hungry is League Of Legends. I only get around 60-80 on it with everything set to ultra, this is not much better then my old built in card. He gets around 450...He can also max out games such a Mass Effect 3 still with around 60-80 fps. I try and max out games such as Skyrim, I get 25-35...On Arma 2 benchmark on Ultra I get around 5-10fps. I should be getting much better fps on games acording to the Nvidia website and other forums. I have read that people with the same card as me can max Battlefield 3 on ultra and get 60-80 fps. Please could someone help me as I am not sure what is wrong. Please if anyone could help I would be very appreciative.

My Specs are:

AMD A8-3850 APU 2.90GHz
8GB RAM
Windows 7 x64 also run Windows 8 Preview (I have the correct drivers for both)
Nvidia GTX 570 Graphics card

Thanks in Advance.

Wow thanks for the quick reply. Sorry if I sound silly but how do I do that. In my Nvidia Control Panel I have a option called "Set PhysX Configuration" And in that there is no disable button, there is only "Select a PhysX processor" which drops down to my card of my CPU or Auto Select :P So sorry if this sounds silly.
 
What CPU does your friend have? It looks like the CPU is bottlenecking it, it's a pretty weak CPU. The A8 is based off the Athlon II series and they themselves are pretty low performers. Have you tried overclocking it?
 
Ah how would I go about doing that, I have MSI Afterburner for GPU Over clocking which is currently clocked at 780 but overclocking my CPU I don't know how to do :P Also I only have a 600W Power Supply so not sure if that could take it? I will also try fresh install of Win7 when I can.
 
If your friend's GT570 frame rate is that much higher than your, then I seriously doubt his CPU is "similar" to your.

As it stand your current CPU would bottleneck the GTX570 badly...even something like the Intel G840 would bottleneck the GTX570 for much lesser.
 
CPU's a bottleneck, as I said in the other thread. It's a massive bottleneck, who the hell puts a llano with a 570?

But is the monitor connected to the GPU, or the motherboard? Sounds like you could be using the IGP.
 
Depends on your budget, you could go for this:

i5-3450 3.10GHz
£143.99

ASRock H77M Intel H77
£62.99

Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB
£35.99

You wouldn't be able to OC with that however, but you probably wouldn't need to as you wont experience any bottleneck.

For a more future proof system that could accept a GPU upgrade longer into the future, you could spend £60 ish more on an i5 3570k and a z77 mobo.
