New Gpu R9 290X - Worse Fps Than My Nvidia 560Ti
#1
Posted 20 September 2014 - 11:43 PM
My Rig is an Intel Core I7-950
18 GB Ram
R9 290X 4GB GPU
I have updated to latest drivers and run the MWO repair tool. I have also tried running on DX9 instead of DX11 but it does not seem to make any difference. Does this GPU just not work well with MWO? Anyone have any insight or suggestions?

If you've not overclocked that cpu yet, it'll get you quite a bit of extra performance in many games.

For almost every game currently published you will not get any appreciable gain above the equivalent i5 3570K variant ... the greatest determining factor will be GPU bound not CPU. Yes there will be some exceptions and my Intel is a bit older ... but I would assume this holds true for the i5 4570K chips as well.
i7 anything that is a desktop processor would net nearly negligible gain with OC of the CPU. I am fairly sure you can verify this on either tomshwardware tests or andandtech

Also the 290x runs much hotter so check your temps and make sure the card isn't defective.
It aso uses more power than the 560ti so how old is your PSU; make and wattage.

He is running an old I7 chip that at stock clocks is just over 3ghz in MWO terms that is slow. Even 3.5ghz chips are slow in MWO.
And for the billionth time MWO is the reverse of the norm; MWO is CPU bound not GPU.

Yeah.. but in MWO I wouldn't be sure about saying GPU bound not CPU.

Did you make sure (I know it sounds dumb but have to ask) you plugged in the GPU power cables from your PSU? Usually 1 or 2 6pin connectors, depending on card.
Also, what board are you using and what size PSU? Makes a big difference. As stated the AMD card does take a lot more juice to let loose.

v sync is off. So yeh either your cpu or power source if the drivers are all good.

This may have been true in 2009, but certainly isn't the case now. And MWO is the king of CPU bottlenecks, unless you make a ridiculous multiplayer arma 3 custom mission, or an epic battle in rome 2.

Here is my guess, the load on your GPU is so low, that it is switching power-states which is given you even worse FPS, during the power state change it becomes too slow, then it switches back to a higher state, load goes down, slows down, so on.
Run an event logger.

In any case, OP, it's time to replace that CPU and Mobo, and RAM if necessary, so you can make use of that $500 GPU. All other possible minor issues aside, that setup is never going to not hold back a high end card like a 290X, let alone give good performance in MWO. Even 35-45 with what were no doubt savage dips into the 20s in any kind of action (when you need framerate the most) is not remotely good, and that's as much as you're ever going to get on that CPU. Meanwhile, that GPU is going to sit there and twiddle its thumbs, because giving even 45fps requires a fraction of its power.

EDIT: Also my cpu doesn't bottleneck my gpu at all btw. The only game i have gotten it to bottleneck in is arma 3 supersampled to 4k @ max settings lol, i5 ftw.
EDIT 2: Yeah dudes. MWO is totally cpu bound btw. I could maintain 80+ fps with my 7950 and even on my htpc with my 7750 i could maintain 50ish fps. CPU is really all that matters in mwo. If you have an i7 and a 560 you should be able to basically max mwo. But with some amd 6 core trash and a gtx 780ti you wouldnt be able to get 40+. My cousin has an fx6300 and gtx 770 (i didnt assemble it for him or i wouldve gone intel/amd or intel/ nvidia) he is barely able to maintain 40 fps with mid settings at 1600x900. The amd cpus are trash on per core performance and amd loves per core perf lol.
