I am having the same issue, cannot break 50 FPS with this rig:

Amd FX (faildozer ) 8150 4.1GHz
Radeon HD 7870
Sabertooth 990FX
Gskill Ripjaw 1600

Please fix this Anet, its really annoying not being able to play this game at 60 FPS.

Setting up a new gaming rig need help please

That video card is crazy overkill and may bottleneck the CPU if you don’t OC it. You can get that I5 up to 5.0 if you tweak it correctly, but with air I would run some serious stress tests to make sure it’s stable.

Solid mobo, just got it for my girlfriends new rig. Be aware that screwing it into the case is a pain in thekitten due to the “dust guard” that I think is pretty useless.

CPU upgrade - make much difference for FPS?

Your performance doesn’t depend only on the CPU. You’re computer is only as fast as the sum of the parts that go into it. Upgrading the CPU will help you get some better FR at lower settings. However, upping graphics depends mostly on your video card (i.e. Anti Aliasing, V sync, Filtering, etc.)

Upgrading to that processor with that video card MAY bottleneck the GPU, take that statement with a grain of salt as I am not positive, and may sound incredibly dumb for saying it.

A longer list of specs with more details would also help me give you a better answer.

Current CPU Speed:
Current GPU Mem Clock and Core Clock speeds:
Current DRAM speed and amount:

EDIT

For reference:

I am currently running an amd x6 1100T at 4.8 GHz with an asus amd radeon HD 7870 and get a solid 60-70 FPS for the first half hour 45 minutes at which it drops to about 30 FPS because of a CPU bottleneck.

Ill be upgrading the the AMD FX 4 core soon OC’d to 5.0 with H80 liquid cooling which should solve my problem
