Hi guys.

I am in need of some serious help.

Built a PC in December of last year,got a good ADSL line 1 month ago and only recently really started seriously playing online I.E COD Black Ops 2, League Of Legends,Guild Wars 2.

Recently i noticed that games i thought i could run on relativelly good graphics is not as easy as i thought and it's really becoming a hell of a headache cause im constantly searching online for what the problem could be.

My graphics card does not heat up at all,im gaming for hours on end and the max temp it goes up to is +- 40 degrees,it does not even feel like im running a GPU,it's like it's not there AT ALL and it's not being utilised for it's actual potential.

I've updated all the drivers to the most recent available ones and still no difference.
LOL i get an avg of 60 FPS but it does drop to 40 odd occasionally and i run everything on HIGH,Guild wars 2 is a completelly different story when in WvW,and Black Ops 2 i have to have everything at just under medium graphics.

All RESEARCHED solutions for "Bottlenecking" so it seems in my case are pointing to my CPU,which i am willing to replace,i just need a deffinite answer as to what it is so that i can solve the problem and KEEP ON GAMING!!!!

Maybe i just chose the wrong setup for a gaming pc,i'm not sure :confused:

With that said,i will obviously have to include my system specs with this thread which i will update when i get home tonight.

Is there anything else i need to provide like 3D MARK scores,SYSINFO,Windows Experience Index or something when i include the info of my machine????

Thanking you AMAZING people in advance for any feedback! :D
 
Uh,posting what you actually have would help
 
No one can help without specs.
You could have a dual core with on board graphics for all we know.
 
Do a bench... overclock CPU... see if bench improves.
Set CPU to stock... overclock GPU... see if bench improves.

If the performance does not improve when you overclock the cpu then you're GPU is the bottleneck... If the performance doesn't improve after you overclock the GPU then your cpu is the bottleneck.

If they both improve then you just have a low spec PC... overclock everything.

So it sounds like we have a processor bottleneck and an outdated GPU here. Post specs of everything, including your monitor.
 
Ok here's a troubleshooting guide:

1) Try easing up on the revs. This isn't kayalami.
2) Have you been disturbed by dreams of soundless cries and jagged black rotating edges?
3) Tucking the folds under one another achieves a crisply folded bedsheet
4) Cut down on processed sugars
5) I am your father

Some usefull and some not but thanks for the quick replys already :D:D
 
It will all make sense to us when you post specs.
Just an example though in Lions Arch in gw2 I get about 40 fps on SLi GTX680's but its well over 100 in other areas.
