Trying to determine if you're causing a slowdown.
Trying to determine if you're causing a slowdown.
Check your GPU load and overall performance. Right now you're seeing high GPU usage around 90-99%, which is normal for demanding games. CPU usage is moderate at about 23% with some cores handling more work. Your system runs on a 960-stick build with an FX 8370 CPU, 550GB DDR3 RAM, and a 5000MB memory module. The issue you're experiencing—frame drops in maps with heavy effects like rain or snow—suggests your graphics card might be struggling under certain conditions. This could be related to the GPU itself, but also to driver settings, thermal performance, or even software optimizations. If you upgrade to a 1060, expect improved stability and frame rates, especially in demanding scenarios.
Improved components needed: CPU, GPU, RAM. Updated March 21, 2017 by nerdslayer1
It seems your motherboard might not be compatible with overclocking. You could consider replacing all components instead.
No, your CPU and GPU combination isn't sufficient for that task.
