A8 6600k CPU Low Performance

sreaper May 2, 2017 6:04 AM

sup guy

So I know the problem I am having is most likely due to my cruddy processor but thought I would ask others to see if anyone else has a suggestion that might be the cause of this problem.

I am not getting more than 30 fps while playing any game from ultra to low settings unless i am in a menu the I get 60 fps that is all even tho i know my graphics card is able to do considerably better.

My pc is running

windows 10 64bit

processor A8 6600k black edition

motherboard GA-F2A55M-HD2

RAM 16GB

graphics card RX 48 nitro + 8GB

Hard disc drive 1TB

power supply 850W

I am open to any suggestions but yeah i feel like it is most like due to my processor

  Oh believe me I wish I could afford one right now but am going to do a fully new build rather than this old build but lack of currency at the mo put a stopper in that plan

    Don't you wish Ryzen's were like attorney's, that way one can be appointed if we couldn't afford one.

You could take some load off the apu by disabling all non windows Startup apps. in task manager, turn off minimized apps. when gaming.
There are game graphics tweak guides that explain perf. impact of various settings.

Edit: the game mention meant for another post

  You could delete all third party graphics control apps....Trixx,Asus, Afterburner, etc....if you have them.
  Set your Power Limit to +50.

Don't fret over Ryzen, it has great performance yes, but it is still quite expensive, and will be until the 4 core 8 thread parts debut in Q3, plus game developers are still patching (or refusing to patch) their games so as not to incur a performance penalty, not to mention the power plan situation... Check out a Socket AM3+ build, Amazon.com: ASUS 970 Pro Gaming/Aura ATX DDR3 AM3+ AMD 970 + SB 950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX AMD Motherboard: Computers & … for $100 and Amazon.com: AMD FD8350FRHKBOX FX-8350 FX-Series 8-Core Black Edition Processor: Computers & Accessories for $120, about the same price as just a 1500X, but you can still use the same RAM.
