Hi, I recently bought new PC
Asus GeForce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5
Radon AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 95W Edition 2.80GHz @ 3.80GHz Overclocked Bundle
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST3500413AS) - set in Raid 0.
Antec Sonata IV Quiet Case - Black (620W PSU)
Win 7 64x
I have put everything together (had to reset overcloceked bundle to default settings as computer didnt want to boot - but I'm not to fussed to have it overclocked) - all worked ok, windows installed without any problems, I have updated BIOS and all the drivers to the latest available. I have installed my first game and there goest the disappointment bit after lunching it (World of Tanks) I had less then 30 fps, I have tried few more (Far Cry 2 - 55fps, Bulletstorm was so bad I couldnt even start it as the First page of the game is dynamic and on my screen it was running one frame after another).
I was'n sure what to do so I ve read little bit and find out that my PSU might be to low, so I have replaced it with OCuK 700W, and it did make a difference now in Far Cry 2 I have 60-70 fps, but when i looked up some test on the website is should have 120fps (running tests with the same settings that were on the website). So my question is: Do I replace the PSU again and gert a 1000 monster or would it might suggest that card is faulty? or maybe my ram is not working @ 100% and causting problems. (On the side note when I'm working in Photoshop for 5-56 hr I have no problem what so ever and its a blast so i dont really think its a ram).
Any thoughts ?
