Posted on another forum about lame performance, can’t even manage 60fps at 1080p on GTA V with my bf’s computer.
It’s a Dell XPS desktop with an i7-930 and GTX980 4GB GPU.
Initially it was running 3x 2GB memory modules in the wrong slots so it was running single channel.
I replaced that with 3x 4GB running in triple channel configuration. I thought for sure that would solve it.
Nope. A bit better but still no good. According to stats neither GPU nor CPU are anywhere close to 100% and even according to task manager none of the single cores are pegged.
Anyway, multiple other people said the same thing with their X58 based systems performing poorly but also being underutilized?
I’m going to end up building a different system with an E3-1271v3 so the poor GTX980 can actually do something besides sit idle, but I’m curious what on the X58 platform is the limitation?
