Thread Starter 
Sup guys recently I did a couple upgrades to my rig going from a 6870 to a 7950 and getting a raidmax typhoon case to a raidmax aeolus and i've been somewhat dissapointed and i think i might have a bottleneck I get really good fps in skyrim, but in crysis it's averages around 35 with dx11 and high res textures:( here's my specs
Gigabyte z868ap-d3 mobo
8GB DDR3 ram (TEAM) EXTREME DARK SERIES
msi twin frozr 3 7950 oc to 1000 cc and 1400 mc
a 610 w psu
and an intel i5 2500k oc'd to 4.5 ghz
where's my bottleneck?

To me it looks pretty even. It would mostly just depend on the program that you are using as some are more CPU intense than GPU and vice versa.

you will always have some kind of "bottleneck". Could be your CPU,GPU,SSD,HDD etc just depends on how you view things =).tongue.gif

First test your card at stock settings with the latest catalyst 12.6 whql. If you are not getting good fps then there is a problem. try troubleshooting using MSI customer support. Worst case try a fresh install of OS and drivers to rule out any other things messing up perf.
