I need help, I don't know what can happen anymore.

@Rastannabis:

Hi javi! while reading your post, I noticed the core clock, it also decreases in performance, in line with these drops we have been discussing.

Coincidentally, the metro is the one that works the worst for me, without filters and without anything, it's terrible, on the other hand, the battefield becomes more "playable".

So, if I increase the voltage on the graphics card, will it improve things?
(I have an r9, and according to what they say, it usually reaches up to 95ºC at maximum performance) I have not reached that temperature with the MSI open, nor have I obtained the performance that is talked about for this card.
maybe the voltage is low, and that's why it doesn't work stably, and it doesn't reach the "optimal" temperature?

thanks

You need to make a fan profile, because if it reaches 95º it's normal that it lowers frequencies, the first thing is to make a fan profile so that it doesn't reach such high temperatures and with that it's possible that it will keep your frequency well, without the need for voltage.

The thing with Metro is perhaps because when the graphics card's temperature rises, the frequency drops and that's why it goes worse, but before doing anything else, what you should do is put MSI afterburner and monitor temperature, frequency and put a better fan profile, it's going to be noisier but if not, it won't perform well.

yes of course, but I have never reached 95ºC nor have I reached to perform with the graphics at the maximum of what is specified:ffu:, so, people talk wonders of this graphics at ultra with the btf 4, or other games, and I have these drops?xD

how do I raise the voltage and in what safe values?

(Why all this fuss, when all the parts I have are new?) I suppose it shouldn't go so bad

Thanks

Well the graphics should perform what maybe something is not right, it could be several things it could be a bottleneck or the one they tell you about the buffer, even it could be power supply or faulty graphics.

It is very strange those ups and downs of BF4 and the fps of Metro LL, it is not normal that of so little, that graphics is Saphire? I ask because some came out that need a new vbios, it is also very strange that with the 560 you already had the problem of stuttering, because that card will not be a bottleneck, check if you have put the Windows updates because with AMD it gives you an update that improves the performance of those CPUs. I think what happens to you is strange, for a bottleneck it would be less stable and would perform less but it shouldn't have those ups and downs of BF4, so often it's as if something did not allow the graphics to work well and is cutting the frequency, I think the power supply if it has only one rail it should not be a problem.

Before anything did you update the bios of the motherboard?
that is the first thing you should always look at when something fails.

I ask because some of them needed a new vbios, it's also very strange that you already had that tearing issue with the 560, because that card won't bottleneck, check if you've installed Windows updates, because with AMD they give you an update that improves the performance of those CPUs. I think what's happening to you is strange, because with a bottleneck it would be less stable and perform less but it shouldn't have those ups and downs in BF4, so often it's as if something isn't allowing the graphics card to work properly and is cutting the frequency, I think the power supply shouldn't be a problem if it only has one rail.

First of all, did you update the motherboard's bios?
that's the first thing to check whenever something goes wrong.

If it's a Sapphire, don't tell me it came faulty:wall: I also think about the power supply, it makes sense that it would drop 500mhz under load at "full performance" if the power supply is insufficient.
I refer to full performance because I play BF4 with everything on ultra, 1920 resolution and resolution scaling at 200%, and it runs at 40-50 fps with stuttering that drops to 5-10 fps.

Anyway about updating the bios.. as well as the OC.. I don't dare and would appreciate help, I have the motherboard's specs above, etc.

Thanks

@Rastannabis:

If it's shappire, don't tell me it came defective:wall: I also think about the power supply, it's logical that it would drop 500mhz of load to "full performance" if the power supply is insufficient.

bff that about updating the bios.. like the oc.. I don't dare and would appreciate help, I have the specs of the board above, etc.

Look I found an OC guide but they also talk about throttle and maybe your problem if it also happened with the 560 is that, the VRM gets hot and the CPU lowers the load, you should enter a custom configuration, because if you have it on auto the board by default puts more voltage than would be needed to be stable, put for example 4200 MHz directly and remove boost options and things like that, so that it doesn't lower frequency, it's very possible that you need less voltage than the board puts on auto and look if the VRM heatsink on the board is hot, it should be somewhat hot but if it's already pretty hot it may be that the VRM is getting hot and is cutting off voltage, I think this guide can be useful for you to configure that equipment and gain some performance.

Just what I needed, now let's see if I can figure it out and hopefully we can solve this, thank you very much javi!
I'm going to open the tower and look at everything, now I'll leave you some photos of the inside.

hmmm… that's another thing! you already had me worried about the shapire issue... it's not the first time I hear something bad about this assembler, although I've always liked ATIs in general.

First of all, I'm thinking of getting another motherboard and an SSD, I'd like you to advise me a little on that, to be honest, I'd like everything to work well, without "touching anything", I'm the typical one who leaves things as they are... but it seems that with computers this is impossible.
I've only recently got into the "world" and let's say I'm still a bit green, for me this whole thing of updating the BIOS is a big deal, as is losing the warranty with OC

I'll leave you the motherboard I'd like to get
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z 90-MIBJ70-G0EAY0VZ Motherboard
With this, we would still have problems or maybe as you said it's a power supply failure, I'm going to try to rule out the power supply issue, looking for an 800w power supply and testing the performance, as I'm more convinced by the issue you mentioned about the Vs and the act.

In the future, I plan to expand to crossfire with the same card, and expand to 16gb of RAM, keeping the 8150, or maybe upgrade to the 8350.
I don't really understand the differences between these processors, I suppose it's something about the generations

In short, a thousand thanks for committing to me javi, you can imagine that feeling of having spent a lot of money on something, and not getting what you expected.
Now I'll get on with what you've told me

P.D. (I hope that commercial-type links are not prohibited, if so, my sincerest apologies, without any problem the comment will be edited removing the url in question.)

I wouldn't spend anything, I also don't recommend CF because you won't take advantage of it, even less so going from an 8150 to an 8350 if with OC your CPU is going to be like the other or very close.
Your motherboard shouldn't be bad to be able to overclock the CPU and I don't think the one you put will work miracles, maybe it will overclock a little more, but it's not worth it, it matters more that the CPU comes out good, with a good CPU you can overclock on many good motherboards and in the end the performance is quite similar to more expensive components.

But that Asrock in the end performs almost like the other Asus, the differences will be so small that it's not worth spending anything, especially if it's not for extreme OC, for a daily use OC they will give you quite similar results, it matters more the quality or VID of the CPU, a good CPU can be overclocked well with several motherboards, if the CPU is bad even the best motherboard won't work miracles.

It makes sense to apply the least risky solutions first. Starting to tackle a problem with OC, especially when it hasn't been done before, I consider it a folly; even more so when it's not certain that it will solve the problem.
A possible buffer problem is solved by adding another hard drive and configuring virtual memory correctly.
A possible power supply problem is solved by avoiding sharing branches that go to the GPU and hard drives, or ultimately changing the power supply.
A possible GPU overheating problem (which can cause load drops and therefore, performance) is solved by improving the case ventilation, either by adding fans, or by opening the sides and placing a desktop fan blowing towards the interior (considered an unacceptable sacrilege by some users of "top-fashion" cases), and as a last resort, a new GPU cooler block, either air or liquid.
In summary, it's better to exhaust all avenues before touching voltages. That's my opinion.

Friends, as of today, I think the problem is over, I downloaded the amd OverDrive and I activated the turbo core, after this I have been playing btf 4 at maximum, including the resolution scale at 200% without drops to 50fps stable. I am very happy, but at the same time confused, has this nonsense solved the problem? why? Thanks to all

I think what solved it is that now if the CPU Turbo works, before it wouldn't work and that Overdrive maybe serves for the CPU to reach its frequencies with Turbo that I think one is 3900mhz with all cores and 4200 with only 4 cores, what seems is that this frequency suits the graphics well.

it seems so, I have already tested several games and it goes great, how is it possible that the turbocore wouldn't work, if the board activated it by default?

In the battefield, I have been recommended to use Windows 8.1, how is it?

I can't talk about Windows 8 or 8.1 because I haven't tried it, then sometimes I have been able to tinker with an early Phenom and when I install the system they go wrong, then when I put a Windows update that puts something for the CPU it improves a lot, so maybe your CPU also needs that program to work well, it may be like a kind of driver, because your CPU has several turbo boosts, one to 3900mhz with all the cores and another to 4200 MHz with 4 cores, I think it works like that and maybe that's why it needs that overdrive.

I have not noticed a difference from w7 to w8 playing… But well it is not bad, you can not say that it is a big change but it is not a step backwards either.
