Bad PC Performance in Black ops 1

[Viinnyy]

Hi Oaks,

Well to start off with i bought myself a new GPU (Gigabyte R9 280x) as an upgrade from a GTX 560, one of my mates has the same card and his pc performed well with the GPU in BLOPS1. Finally i git another card GTX 650Ti Boost 2gb and things are going better now but for some reason my pc will not run to its full potential. My specs:

MOBO - MSI G43-Dragon Series
CPU - Intel Core i7 3770K @ 3.50 Ghz
GPU - GTX650Ti Boost 2GB
PSU - Hotkey X7 800 High voltage
RAM - 8GB DDR3 @ 1300 (4x 2GB chips)

So pc wise i should be able to run Call of Duty Black Ops 1 with no problems at a constant 250FPS permanently in promod(all i play)?? I ran a test with Caps Viewer and Cinebench to see what my pc does and the results are shocking, my CPU runs at 100% when i start the test and my GPU only maxes out on 40% max at about 145-150 FPS according to Afterburner.

Any HELP would be wonderful...

Thanks oaks

Is there a reason why 60FPS or 120FPS is not enough ?

Wait, why did you downgrade from the 280x to the 650ti?

Well bacically we want to get the best FPS in promod for the smoothest and fastest gameplay. i can cap 125FPS but does not stay constant when there are wide open spaces in fromt of me... when i cap to 250FPS it jumps around never under 180FPS untill i run outside in the open

Because my PC did not perform well in blops 1 with the 280 i still got in jusst never had the patients to test it with new PSU, dont think i will make a diff...

Do you have a 120/144 hz monitor? Otherwise 60-80 fps would be more than adequate as your screen will only display a maximum of 60fps.

Strange. Did you try a proper driver clean etc before you installed the amd drivers? Did you try different amd drivers? Beta drivers? Sadly one needs to play around with amd :-(
But the 280x should always give you more juice than the 650, so if you still have it I would suggest you try it out again.
Did you copy your friend's game settings? AA etc will be expensive on that 650.
Good luck!

Yeah well re installed windows after i got my AMD, then tried a lot of drivers but that was with a Thermaltake 600w Litepower PSU, Will see maybe i can re install windows once again and then install the 280x and see what the diff will be with the new more juicy PSU. A lot of ppl actually had the same problem with black ops 1 because its not supported my Radeon its made for nVidia, i say thats BS because why would they make a game that is not compatible with other brands of GPU's???

Thanks bro ill see what i can figure out...

Yeah that screen only displays at 60hz, you will only see 60fps on your screen, anything above that is just to measure your epeen against your friends!!
But in all seriousness you should not worry about your frames that much, maybe lock the frames at 80, your card will run cooler and make less noise.
