1 AnswerXbox6 years agoWhat is my Pc Bottleneck?
So i install a new Graphics card and I've noticed a bottleneck with my frames being somewhat low, while playing games like Arma 2 and Even BF3 a bit. Also while playing Planet Side 2 which i expected mainly because that game is CPU intensive.
My Specs and with usage while playing BF3 on Ultra at 1280x1024@60hz while getting about 60 Frames.
CPU: Amd A10-5800k(86-90% All of my cores are at work at about the same Percentage)
GPU:Gtx 660(54%)
RAM: Corsair Xms 4Gb 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM @1333mz(77-80%)
Other Pieces of Hardware
PSU:Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-750 750W .....
Mobo: ASUS F2A85-M Pro FM2 AMD A85X .....
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB 7200 RPM ....
Hopefully its not a CPU bottleneck because i don't have many options of really upgrading my CPU. If its a Ram Bottleneck i will get some Corsair vengeance 8gb 1600mz Like this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTool...
Anyway thank you for any responses.
1 AnswerDesktops7 years agoWhat Graphic settings for PC games are intensive on Cpu and also which ones are intensive Gpu?
So i have been playing some PC games recently and Ive been getting decent frames of about 60 on decent settings on games like BF3, Arma 2 Etc.. ,but sometimes they will lower. I know the cause is that i have a CPU bottleneck (i have a A10-5800k) and my GPU is a GTX 660. Now I'm wondering what In-game Graphics settings are more CPU intensive and Also what Graphic settings are more GPU intensive (even though i have a beefy Graphics Card). I only have 4gbs of 240-Pin DDR3 SDRam @1333mhz and I'm wondering if i upgrade to this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTool... will i have any improvements in performance.

3 AnswersSecurity7 years agoOdd changes on computer after installing new Graphics Card?
So i recently installed a new Graphics card (GTX 660) and everything went fine. I install latest drivers etc... but for some reason symantec endpoint protection is giving me notifications about system changes which i disregarded thinking it was something normal with installing new drivers, now here is where i gets my attention. Earlier today i went to shut down my computer and while shutting down i was given a error like this with Symantec endpoint protection, http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/tseconfigdl... So i started to get worried about all the notifications, i ran a other virus scan on another anti virus program. I think this may be cause by a driver conflict i run a a10 5800k apu from amd then i installed a gtx 660 so therefore im thinking its a driver conflict. so if u can help me thanks
