My rig:
CPU: intel i5-2500k Quad Core 3,30 Ghz GPU: Msi Gtx 970 Gaming 4GB RAM: 8GB OS: Windows 10 Home Monitor: 1920x1080 Hello, I have done my 1st cpu overclock and the results were not according to my expectations. I overclocked 33 CPU Ratio to 40 so each core has 4,0 Ghz and CPU Core Voltage to 1150 V. I tried playing Witcher 3 Wild Hunt afterwards and there was 0 difference in performance, FPS was the same only CPU temperature raised from 38-50°C (60°C+ while gaming) to 70°C+ after few minutes, so I turned CPU settings back to normal. I don't know if the problem is that my CPU is 5year old ( it's the only part in my pc that I haven't upgraded yet) and the thermal paste must be completely decomposed and that I am using CPU stock cooler, but other people who I know got a lot better results. Can you guys please tell me what's wrong or advice me what settings should I use? I am 18 years old and studying at Grammar school so I am not so good at those things, actually I am noob  I am looking forward to your answers. Thanks  ( Sorry for my english) |

I did a lot of testing and I even tried playing on max settings, 40-50fps, mostly 40 with some dips to 30 on some places. I managed to find 2 places so far in the whole Velen where my fps goes to 24 for few seconds. I noticed that 1 bear with hairworks on takes more fps than 10 wolves that jump on me at once ( yeah weird, I know
) So I can't decide if should I go after fps or graphics... and I know that 970 isn't designed to run it on max, but I dunno...-Btw Malefic, what settings are you using? From your reply I cab see that with hairworks off...others on ultra? - EDIT: without hairworks it's 50-60fps, with some rare dips to 30+. |
