Hi,
I just replaced my HIS Radeon 6870 with a GTX 760, but my performance has been less than expected. I don't know if it is my CPU bottlenecking my performance, or if there is else going on.
I only game at 1600x900, yet my performance falls well below benchmarks given at 1920x1080.
For example: The Anandtech benchmark for Sleeping Dogs has an average framerate of 80.1, and a low of 49.4 at 1920x1080. I am only averaging 38-43 fps at 1600x900, and it drops down to 35 while I'm driving at high speeds!
The story is the same in Assassins Creed IV Black Flag. On the open seas I'm getting 29-33 fps, and during ship battles and in cities I'm dropping down to 20!
I am seeing maybe a 15% improvement over my 6870, which obviously isn't right.
Temperatures for the card are at about 70 degrees while in game and 30 while idling.
GPU - EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ACX
CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition
MOBO - Gigabyte GA-990XA-UD3
RAM - 8GB DDR 3
Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. I planned on upgrading to a 1920x1080 monitor today, but that is now out of the question until I can resolve the current issue!
