piggypotpie 14 Posted May 16, 2014 Need some help. Just bought a new rig: AMD 9370 8 core and gtx 770 gpu. plenty of memory and RAM. In game I'm getting crazy spikes and lows in my FPS. While sitting still and staring off into one spot my FPS will go from somewhere in 40-60's down to 13-9 in thirty second intervals. I've disabled Norton, made sure there was anything drawing power on my CPU, made DayZ a high priority and disable al;l the use in-game issues. I've tried with Arma3 and same issues, but not with single player games Anyone have any ideas? (keep in mind I'm moderately PC handicapped) Super stressed as I bought this machine to improve my performance not make it worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DropBearChick 1216 Posted May 16, 2014 Maybe enable dysnc and what are your video settings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blacklabel79 949 Posted May 16, 2014 Also: ALPHA optimization comes later. Disable VSYNC and other shenanigans you probably wont Need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted May 16, 2014 Some things I can think of are adjusting your power setting to high performance.. ensuring your GPU is set up properly.. You really should not have strange ups and downs like that if you're not even moving. Hit some PC forums and ask for help there, like http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum-33.html, etc. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
