FPS Problems

[BananaMann]

Hello, i recently brought the GTX 660. i previously had the GTX 460, I'm sure the 660 is a decent upgrade from the 460 so surely i'd be able to see a big difference in the FPS in my games.


CPU : AMD athlon 651 x4 3ghz quadcore
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-A55M-S2V
RAM - 8 gig ddr3 corsair
GPU - GTX 660 OC (2gb)
OS - WINDOWS 7
PSU - 500W

When nobody is around me I get about 60 fps but when im in a raid I get 20.

Tried updating the gpu, creating a new admin account and also looking in the bios incase of any bottleneck.


Could someone please help, Thanks


P.S. Not sure where to post my thread, soz.

The more action, scenery, movement etc the lower the fps.

With a card like mine? And the same after upgrading?

Like i said in your other post your ATHLON is the bottle neck upgrade to at least a 965BE you will see a big difference http://www.sevenforums.com/gaming/319494-fps-issues.html#post2667314

Is there an even better one i can get for 100 pounds?

 

[AddRAM]

I thought there would be a huge improvement from a 760 to a 770, I was not all that impressed, but it gets better everyday

Soon there will be 2 of them in the Corral

Must be the cpu then for me.
Whats the best I can get for 100 pounds that will give me a great fps in a busy place and is compatible with my motherboard

what is 100pds equal to american dollars ?

 

[BananaMann]

170

 

[AddRAM]

I`m guessing 10 stacks of $100 billls each weighing 10 pounds

According to this you can use APU chip which would be a good improvement APU CHIP + Discrete graphics card equal a big performance boost GIGABYTE GA-A55M-S2V AMD A-Series Motherboard - Micro ATX, AMD A55 Chipset, Socket FM1, 2400MHz DDR3 (O.C.), SATA 3.0 Gb/s, RAID, 7.1-CH Audio, Gigabit LAN, AMD Dual Graphics Ready at TigerDirect.com

Do I have to buy an entire mobo? I cant just buy a 170 dollar cpu?

 

[Solarstarshines]

Man they just came out with this one it plays battlefield and all kinds on sick levels i have a clip of it Newegg.com - AMD A10-7700K Kaveri 3.5GHz Socket FM2+ 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor AMD Radeon R7 series AD770KXBJABOX

Exactly FM1 board APU A-series compatible just the CPU mate and your good as gold if you had an asus board though they offer Lucid MVP and with your cpu and 660 together it would increase by 25% just saying

Can I get this in the uk?

 

[Solarstarshines]

Yup i would try Amazon.com

Of course you will have to use the UK version but they have them for about the same price or a little cheaper http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n... R7 series AD770KXBJABOX AMD A10-7700K Kaveri
