my cpu is really old (2012), but i think it s not its fault
This is Battlefield 1 beta: (here you can blame that s a new game)
Black ops 3 (older is a little better)
...
this is old, and also here i have fps drops (more than BO III)
cpu is at 40% usage, so i cant blame it

Is it a pre sandy bridge cpu? Even my 5ghz ocerclock sb 2500K is a bottleneck nowadays. My cpu is fluctuating constantly between 60 and 90% usage causing dips in BF1.
edit: sorry i misread. I thought your GPU had low usage.
Now that is strange because an older CPU would be utilized to the fullest.Last edited: Sep 5, 2016 -

Since you didn't post what system or specs how would you expect others to know what is going on or figure what to do? No details specs and no one can help you set things to work properly. There are many factors that can be a bottle neck but lack of details won't get help fast.

tnx all, the config is:
Alienware Desktop: [Alienware Aurora ALX]

Mouse: [Alienware TactX Mouse]
CPU : 3970X @ 5GHz (Intel EE Extreme Edition)

the only problem i can address is the old cpu

w10 is a fresh install, i placed a new ssd and it s brand new
temps are overall high, but Tj for my cpu is 91' and everything under 80 is ok for me i think -
killkenny1 Too weird to live, too rare to die.
So your PC started having performance issues just recently?
Did you install any software prior to game performance decrease?
How about other games, how to they perform? -
this image, found in NBR Aurora Owner's Lounge, portends to be TitanX; as I zoom in, it appears this person chose to run it off of only one video-cable (6pin + the parasitic jumper --> if so, then why the power supply doesn't shut-off / reboot under load is odd). Aurora with the 875watt (part# J556T or W299G) has two cables (each cable has a primary 6pin & a jumper 6+2) & each cable is on its own 12volt rail (18amps per rail)
the proper way to connect a solo-card is to use the blu-wht & blu-ylw, thus deploying both cables / both 12volt rails into the card. So long as yours is connected properly, just to have a good steady power base to feed it with, you might explore your Bios & ensure it has PCI-E Gen3 enabled ... check both
Whether you have this cooler or not, shown is the R4 Premium cooler, part# 01YGW ( available on eBay at times ~$50/$80 used: play the waiting game, they pop up often & sell qwick); 38mm wide radiator with copper base, whereas the non-premiums are 25mm with aluminum base; these are a direct drop-in for all R1-R4 & recommended for 130watt Sandy/Ivy-E to help bring temps down. General tips here: how to get my Aurora R3 to run cooler

RMA / return your T-Rex as a last resort, it might be bunkLast edited: Sep 11, 2016TomJGX likes this. -

sistem is brand new because i formatted recently
the other games are all disappointing, not 30fps, but less than the other titanx
man your advice is good for another reason:
my actual problem is not heat related, because it s present also at default with good temps, but i had a problem keeping temps ok with cpu overclock and i m going to buy the aurora
Premium cooler, part# 01YGW for sure!
psu is ok man , it s only 1 card and i connected 2 cables from 2 different linesLast edited by a moderator: Sep 9, 2016 -
GPU usage is 99% so its the GPU.
Titan X - bad performance - cpu is old but at 40% usage
