High End Graphics Card Underperforming
Hey everyone, I have a GTX 680 4GB, 16gb ram, and a i7 2700k, it's been a while since I've been here and I'm fairly certain my specs on my profile are outdated.
In the last 6-8 months or so I have noticed my over FPS and performance in games has been a lot lower. It hasn't been too much of an issue to me because I've been busy with work and school, but now with BF4 out I am reading people with lesser cards getting better performance. For example when I first got the card I remember being able to run ArmA DayZ mod at 100+ fps, now it's 40-60 FPS if I'm lucky. On BF4 (high preset) I am getting 40-75 FPS depending on what is going on, now I know 75 FPS is good, but it only jumps to this amount when I'm stationary, and I have also noticed decreased FPS in recording gameplay using Fraps/Dxtory (I have a 7200 RPM dedicated HD for this). Any advice? My card isn't getting hot while playing, it idles at 28-30c, and goes to 45-50 while under load.
