bottleneck performance?

[einzele]

@Imoye yep thats what i thought, and its true. i thought 20fps at mor dhona is normal, until i compare it with my friend. well, they could lie about it, but why would they do that tho.
@Acyd im not very sure abt my friend's but mine is clocked at its stock speed. does the speed affect much?
@Judge_Xero i thought power option only affect display sleep and such? but mine is already at high performance setting when i check it.
@MaikoRain thanks for posting your screenshot. we both and Itseotle with 980 have similar issue, i guess this is only an issue for 900 series. i did a bit research and there are also many people have this issue with 900 series, low gpu utilization and low fps compared with other gpu models with the same cpu.

a question, if i change the cpu with i7 4790k will i get better framerate? the i5 4460 is clocked at 3.2 - 3.4GHz, i7 4790 is 4.0 - 4.4Ghz. i suspect this game does not utilize hyperthreading, but will more clock speed affect performance in any way?
i bought this i5 4460 because everyone on the web say its more than enough for gaming and u wont get any noticeable improvement anymore than that.

LOL, yes the i7s will give better performance than the i5s, which is why they cost more. But you gotta be nuts to go out and buy a new CPU just for a small improvement of the FPS in Mor Dhona. Why are you obsessing about your fps in Mor Dhona? It's just one tiny area in the game! The reason why there are so many people in Revenant's Toll is because it's the where you obtain your rewards for performing end game stuff. Thus it becomes a spot where people just "hang out" when they have nothing else to do. What good is having a high frame rate if all you are going to do is stand around?

Play the game instead of relying on the FPS meter to make you feel insecure about your performance.
