Crysis still crushing my pc....

Hello folks. Im having a problem with my pc, specifically with just crysis on steam, crysis warhead and crysis wars. The game runs at 20fps outside, with maybe 30fps inside. Considering I just bought a ROG mobo and OC'ed my processor to 3.5 GHZ with a NB clock of 2.4 ghz, this is absurd. I even have shaders unlocked on my gpu's. I find it hard to believe my pc cant handle this at max settings. Do you guys think my ram is the weak link? This is pissing me off considering that crysis 2 runs at 120fps inside..... :mad: , hell even metro 2033 runs at 60-70 fps with all settings at max except 4xMSAA because that destroys fps for a small detail gain. suggestions? running catalyst 11.4 with 11.2 cap4. specs are in sig. What do I need in order for any game to run over 60fps regardless of setting? PSU, Ram? I think getting faster gpu's is overkill, and i have one of the best mobos you can buy. Processor is 1075T Thats like 2 models below top of the line.....
 
Yeah you should be getting higher than that. I'm thinking that your processor is the bottleneck though. Yeah you have 6 cores, but with games you are really only utilized about 2 or 3. The cores in that processor aren't the fastest, but where you see the benefit with that processor is in multi tasking and highly threaded applications (aka not games).
 
Crysis and Warhead only use 2 cores/threads. Something is wrong though, I get higher FPS than that in Crysis and Warhead. Have you patched the games to the latest versions? They drastically increase performance. Also, the games stutter quite a lot if they are fragmented on the hard drive, so run a defrag as well.
 
It's my understanding that some games do not directly benefit from Crossfire, and can even cause issues. I would try disabling Crossfire, and just run one card. Can't hurt to experiment.

Try turning physx or AA off completely if possible.

The games don't use PhysX. Personally, 2xAA is enough for me in Crysis, the motion blur helps with that.

Go into Catalyst Control Centre and properly setup all the settings to what suits your preference. Forcing 16x Anisotropic filtering is a good idea, makes textures look better. Disabling Catalyst AI will also disable crossfire, unless set to advanced.

Try downloading the Crossfire profiles for each game, though they should be included with the CCC installer, if you used the complete one.
