Whats wrong with my fps??? Someone please help!!!

[Radunas]

Great thanks again Radunas, think that is what I will work on - a 800w PSU & the GTX660 - then I will transfer them to a new tower when I build ... As long as this wont cause any damage to the mobo (being a mini ITX system)

Nope, should be all good to go there.

$1,400 if thats any better lol.

ouch not really haha. Sorry man.. give someone who knows what they are doing a $1,400 budget at newegg.com and your jaw would drop. I spent my tax refund (800 or less, i forgot) on my tower which has:

MSI 990FXA-GD80 mobo, AMD FX-4170 Quad CPU, 800W PSU, 16GB RAM @ 1866, ASUS GTX 550ti, 1TB HD, and it eats up most things I throw at it.

The way I built it, I plan on getting the latest and greatest AMD proc when I upgrade it (most likely 8 core+), 2 high end nvidia cards in SLI, water cooling, 32GB RAM, moar Terabytes of storage and definitely some SSD action for my OS and some games.

Yep newegg.com and tigerdirect.com (sometimes different components are cheaper here, like Hard drives) are where I shop. I'm CompTIA A+ cert'd so if you happen to be in Arizona I could help you. haha. If not just find a fellow gamer nerd that builds custom PCs and hit them up for their services!

Best thing to do if you are planning to do a full upgrade, don't do it right now. With black friday and cyber monday right around the corner i'd say just stick it out for now, and wait until then. That's what I'm doing.

Just so you guys do know ive found that the game is poorly optimised in some zones heres an example

In zone x my CPU usage is 60% over all cores my GPU usage is 99% my FPS is around 100FPS

Now this the problem

In zone Y my cpu usage is 40% over all cores or 90% on one core my gpu usage is down to around 40% my fps drops to 30FPS

Looking at this SE needs todo some heavy optimisation with the game and once these issues are fixed work with Nvidia to get a good driver out.

The same, usually. ATX formats are supposed to cover a wide range of motherboard sizes, but i'm fairly certain most PSUs will fit in the PSU area in your case.

Preferences are preferences, I'd rather get a steak from AJ's fine foods than food city (not saying amazon is food city here). Amazon works for you; And I said I couldn't speak to their RMA process, obviously it works well for them because they're still in business.

Personally, I've never had an issue with newegg and have no need to switch vendors. Saving a few bucks to get it from amazon won't make me say it's any better or any worse.

They're probably owned by the same conglomorate newscorp fox CBS company anyway

Tru, I'd be happy to offer help building your tower, recommend parts or whatever. Your description of not expensive, but upgradeable and still beasts games fits my agenda perfectly. Budget conscious gamer builds

Nah he doesn't need a new PC but I think he's saying, if he's going to spend around 3-400 for a PSU/vidya card upgrade, why not just build a new tower. Both are acceptable options, as the PSU and vidya can be moved to your new build that you can buy piece by piece when you have the funds.

Edit: also yes please liquid nitro my PC nao

I researched it a little, and it's apparently only feasible for stress testing and experimentation due to the rate at which the LN2 evaporates, that said the one system i looked at was only 192 and change, not counting the cost for the LN2.

And yah, thats actually what I'm doing for my build. Getting a Chaser MK1 case beginning of next month, then waiting for black friday/cybermonday to see about either a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB ssd, a Seagate Desktop 2TB sshd and 8 DDR3 Corsair Vengenace RAM or a gtx 670/770 whichever is cheaper. Then when my 3 pays with holiday pay comes in january I'll be picking up an Asus Maximus VI Formula MB, 4770k, a OCZ ZX 1000w PSU, and whatever is leftover from what i didnt get during black friday weekend.

AMD cpu is not the best option for playing games we all know that, but playing the game with nvidia GT card is pathethic, the card is really bad and cheap not to mention it only has 25GB bandwidth making it even more pathethic, im sorry to say but your relatively new PC is suited for paperwork not to play up to date games like final fantasy 14 :/

now to help out :P
i dont know what kind of PSU you use but you should be fine with a proper 600W anyday, 750W for overkill but its not needed for a GT 630 card. to answer your other question. "can i upgrade to gtx630" -> no you cant assuming there is no gtx 630, the GT class ends with gt 640 and then the gtx starts. moving on, to run this game on max settings with the 65 inch screen you are definitely looking for a card with at least 3GB of video memory to handle such resolution. so you should be looking into cards like AMD hd 7950 and above or nvidia gtx 670 the 4GB versions of course and above but they are costy.
now if you want my honest advice on how to be safe and fit into budget HD 7970 is your best shoot for price/performance

ps: if you spent 1400 dolars on your pc, you got seriously ripped off, because that whole setup you have could easily fit under 400 dolars no joke, return the PC if you still can and build some ridiculous machine for your money.
