Nice, be sure to tell us if it smooths things out.

Well, with my new HDD I could actually get the latest AMD drivers, but Saints Row 3 still only ran at 35-40 maxed out with v-sync off and about the same with v-sync on too.

Hmm, so a slight increase in Minecraft then? I honestly think it could be something to do with the RAM in that case, it should be running on the XMP profile. It's designed to run on it, yet you're unable to play any games with the XMP profile running? If that is the case, try and run with the XMP profile enabled again, and see if there's any difference now that you're running Windows 8.

I'm really not sure then. Do the frames increase significantly when you put the settings on low? Or do they stay at around the same rate?

Would this increase usually be greater on your other graphics card?

Bradguin121 · 14 Aug 2012 at 14:12

No, it was getting about the same FPS.

I'm really not sure then. Are you sure that the GPU is running near (within 5% of) 100% usage?

It was the last time i checked. But i could check again

what software can i use? Someone gave me a link when i checked it last time but i cant find it

May sound daft, but have you got the correct motherboard drivers installed?

i.e. not just running off the 'Windows-own' drivers?

Download the latest board drivers from the manufacturers website, install those and see if there's any improvement.
