I have a Gtx 780Ti, i5 2500K, 16gb ram and a 750w CoolerMaster PSU. I bought the graphics card to be able to game at my monitor's native resolution, which is 2560x1440. It performs well enough, but I've always had the feeling it should be running faster. I've recently started playing DA: Inquisition, and had to ratchet down the quality settings from ultra, to high and then started disabling various features as the frame rate was still pretty shoddy.
I took out my old backup LED monitor which runs at full HD and tried it instead. It obviously runs faster, but still seems like at that resolution it should be running at a solid 60fps, but I still notice frame rate drops pretty often.
Coincidentally, I was recently looking at my UPS manual (thanks eskom!) and I happened to notice the maximum rated power output for the UPS is 390w.
My question is, is it possible that the GPU isn't getting enough power because of the UPS, and under performing because of it, or would the card not run at all if this were the case?
Obviously I could just plug the pc directly into the mains and see if anything changes, but I wanted to know if this was even possible first.
Thanks in advance!
