low FPS on Radeon 7950 3GB DDR5 in General Discussion
Es Teh Manis

    hallo guys
    can someone help me, when i play dota , i always got 80 fps on low setting
    but when i change to very high setting i still got 80 fps.
    there is something wrong i think.
    the fps on low setting should be 100+

    here is the spesifications:
    Grpahic Card : Sapphire HD 7950 Dual-X with Boost
    rocessor: AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
    RAM : 16GB

      ITS YOUR CPU it's a bottleneck I had pretty much the same except I oc'ed it to 4GHz and that helped me get ~100fps+ mostly but in intense fights it would drop to 60-70fps. If you would get and overclock decent i5 you might have ~ 150 - 200fps.

          If you want to get more fps, try to overclock your cpu, ofc if you have decent enough cooler, try to go step by step get 3.8ghz, if it's stable for ~10 mins, push ur multiplier a bit more get 4GHz if it's is still stable go for more and if it's not just add a little bit more voltage, don't go over 1.45 volts, I wouldn't go above 1.4V tbh, I was kinda lucky mine only required ~1.325 or something to get 4ghz and I'm sure I could push it a little more, but when I got a crash with that voltage @ 4.2Ghz I was just too lazy to play with it. It won't make huge difference, maybe 10-20ps depends for dota. I would just upgrade your computer if you can buy i5 7600K or something get a new graphics card later, I'm sure you can still play most games on 1080p medium/high and ok'ish fps. For stability testing use ASUS realbench and aida64 stress tests. I had some overclocks where it would pass in 1 program, but would crash in like 2mins in the other, just make sure it's really stable, and don't push your cpu above 55-60C if possible. If you don't know how to overclock read some guides there are a lot actually, it tells you to OC north bridge too, cuz u gain some performance too, but I was too lazy to test it added like 400mhz on it or 600 I don't remember and didn't play around much. When you're done with your overclock and can't push it anymore, test it for at least 4 hours it should be fine.

                Turn off V-Sync.

                  Even after Ryzen, I will never understand why someone willing to spend a shitton of money would buy AMD.

                    Well AMD is cheaper and in my opinion I don't want to buy expensive parts for a computer since I don't plan on playing new games like 2016 and beyond, if I choose between Nvidia and AMD I will choose AMD, but in processors yeah Intel I5 would be the go for gaming.

                          Why do u need more than 60 fps can ur eyes rlly tell the difference between 60 and 100? I cant even tell between 30 and 60 LUL.

                            i had the exact same cpu and it would drop to 40 fps in a fight. i managed to get a dell xps computer off craigslist for free that had an i5 2400 cuz a company was getting rid of them, i put in a $100 video card and now i get around 140 fps, it doesnt drop below 100. just get a mid end i5 either new or used and you'll never need to worry about choppy performance.

                              thx for the answer,
                              i will buy another cpu for this graphic card

                                Try and run the game on vulkan and DX11, see if it makes any difference. if not, upgrade CPU.

                                  Phenom II overclocks pretty well as long as your mobo supports it/has nice options in the bios.
