Not Getting The Performance I Expected From My 780TI

[BeadyRoller]

This is my rig:

The three games I have tested so far have been Watch Dogs, BF4 and DayZ, all have steady FPS but drop frames a hell of a lot (20 FPS or so) every minute, now for a 500 quid card I would expect better, I'm only on one screen at 1080p as well.

It just doesn't feel as smooth as it should, on DayZ today I was only getting 10 FPS at times in cities, on my old 7970 I'd have atleast 20, something tells me there, there is something wrong.

I have a 550w PSU as well by the way.

I perhaps thought it may be a bottleneck somewhere but I'm no expert and need advice as I'm very frustrated by it.

Thanks.

My CPU isn't overclocked no Marius, I'll have to look at testing it on MSI tomorrow. My PSU is a 550W XFX Pro Core Edition 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply

BF4 runs at over 100FPS but I get this little lag every minute or so which I shouldn't be getting shankly.

DayZ on my old GPU worked fine and that was a worse card, that's what I find strange. WatchDogs like BF4 runs smooth but every minute or two I get a big FPS drop?

So what am I looking out for on MSI Afterburner? I've not really used it before?

That's what MSI Afterburner showed after a half an hour session on DayZ. Anything anyone can spot there that is wrong?
