Athlon 2 x4 630 and hd 7850 2gb frozr iii bottle neck?

[shaniwaketech]

Ok ill do that when I'm home im

 

[shaniwaketech]

Ok

 

[yepp]

its vddc ? is 1.338 idk? on gpu z under load

HD 7850 VDDC should be nowhere near 1.338, GPU-Z reading is off or something is fishy.

 

[chimaxi83]

I don't trust GPU-Z for any readings, except maybe fan speed and core temp. It's always off from what my multimeter tells me. HWiNFO64 is accurate, in my opinion.

Well, I don't think it will make that much of a difference, but there is this:

PCI-E 3.0 x16 @ x16 1.1

You can see the scaling here (on an Intel setup), and really, it shouldn't affect any of your games by more than 20%, and most games by less than 5%. Definitely shouldn't cause the 7850 to perform worse than the 9500GT.

You are using an older display driver, so update that, and since some games really don't handle GPU changes well, you may need to uninstall and reinstall them.

ok.,alright i tried running some other games ,,,,so yeah my cpu is the main culprit...i have 5
times the frame rates in crysis 2 and just cause 2 than my 9500gt,,,and no lag at all like 60 + constant , but gta 4 and ac3 still at 20 frames,,,,but in other games a helll lot of difference...so yeah a cpu upgrade ,what do you think i can get a 1100t x6 for 60 bucks should i get it ,?

If changing the graphic settings doesn't affect your frames in GTA4 then yes, you're CPU bound, an X6 1100T would help. Doesn't make sense an x4 630 would do so horribly, I remember running GTA4 on a measly E5200 and performance was far superior then what you're mentioning, plus GTA4 is quad optimized.

I can make your i5 tank in GTA4...

Your PC works slower than expected? Try to limit p0rn sites visits. Format C: and reinstall.

99% of time the main problem with computer is between display and chair....

Why? Are you planning on sending some p0rn links my way?

Lol

Idk what he's try a say? Is he reffering to me,,dude I clean up my PC after every p0rn site visit, lol

 

[yepp]

Beats me, was under the impression he was threatening my CPU with p0rn so it'll tank in GTA4 or something.

Or you could even look for a 1055T. I overclocked mine to 3.825GHz with the stock heatsink/fan, ran Prime95 FFT for 2 hours with no difficulty. I've now installed a ZALMAN 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler and the CPU is much cooler. I haven't checked the framerates yet on my SAPPHIRE 100351SR Radeon HD 7970, but on max settings BF3 is AWESOME!

Man, where did you find those crazy good deals?

Something else is wrong. The x4 640 should be getting much better performance in GTA 4.

But a CPU upgrade would unlock more performance out of your 7850. If you have the money to upgrade then that's a good deal on the 1100T.

 

[docp]

maybe you got dud for 90.

For GTA4, rename the data folder where settings are stored. From the Steam Library, Right-click GTA4 and select Properties. Under Local Files tab, choose BROWSE LOCAL FILES....

Rename
Grand Theft Auto IV\common\data
to
Grand Theft Auto IV\common\data_old

Then go back to the Properties window and choose VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE...

This should reinstall all files in the data folder and when you restart the game all settings should be reset (won't affect your saves). If my assumption is correct, your framerate should improve.

well on highest settings GTA 4 will certainly make it tank to 20s at times but he should be averaging well more than that. turning down shadows and view distance will help tremendously. and most games should play just fine with no massive slowdowns but yeah a new 1100 will noticeably help in cpu intensive games for sure.

thanks! dude but no help

i mean everything except assasins creed 3 and gta 4 seems to work fine ...i dont think there's any problem with card?

 

[Eureka]

Run the heaven benchmark at 1920x1080, full AA, AF, Tesselation, and give us the result? I mean if everything except those two games have no issues, then it's probably not the card.

Bummer. Let's try this, then. Close Steam, log out of your Windows user account, and login to another user account (create one first, if need be, you can delete it later). Start Steam and play GTA4. Adjust settings as needed and see if it plays any better.

i ran 3dmark 11 and got a score of 6600 for gpu adn 2600 something for my stupid athlon.
