hi all,
recently built my 1st pc, got a gtx970 to go with. abit of hiccups here and there, like my ram doesnt work with dual channel set up, only a single 8gb stick works, hdd wont initialize and stuff like that. but generally its working well.
i tested my card with rome 2 and dragon age on ultra, both games. gpu usage shot up to approx 90% which is fine, i got 90 to 120 fps on rome 2 bench mark test.
problem is when i tried the same for coh, i get only 2-20 fps with gpu usage on 11%. the game is not utilizing the gpu at all, i've tried fiddling with the nvidia control panels to set for performance, power usage to maximum but to no avail.
so i have no idea what else to do. can anyone with similar experience advise? oh and i've updated the bios, gpu drivers to the latest so it shouldnt be a problem on gpu drivers.
thanks in advance.
GTX 970 and coh2 issue

This might not help but maybe try setting priority in task manager. I recommend trying everything from "Below normal - Realtime".

cpu im using is i7 4790k with msi z97 gaming 5 mobo
i dont think its the cpu, unless something is throttling and capping it from using 100%. but looking at how rome 2 @ ultra settings is probably much more of a resource hog and i dont think its a temperature issue too, gpu readings are around 58 degree celsius on load, 40 degrees for the cpu.

My only explanation is that coh2 doesn't like nvidia or viceversa or both.
Ok, didn't have a card of your caliber, I had a 570 GTX series. But this card is close to or better than that in "recommended system requirements". And it was still running on low settings to have a decent frame rate. Changed it with an Ati R9 280 x series and no problem now. Runs perfect, everything on "highest" except anti aliasing which runs on "Low" and I'm sure I can't run the game on maximum settings becasue of my CPU which is weak. I saw some people here complaining about their nvidia cards performances related to coh2. That's why when I changed my video card I dismissed nvidia from the start.

i've got 670s and it runs fine on max. overclocked cpu though.
3930k@4.4Ghz
ASUS RIVE
2x670 EVGA reference cards
16GBs of 1600Mhz RAm
run the game at max settings (bar AA) at 2560x1440. don't notice any lag. doesn't mean a whole lot as i'm not very sensitive to it, especially in RTSs, but still.

im suspecting if its nvidia drivers or relic coding thats the problem here. i wanted to make sure i have done my end right.
if thats the case, ill just have to wait for new drivers that will fix it or coh2 patches that takes better advantage of current cards.

Okay that's strange, as I have the exact same cpu/gpu as you, and don't have any issues playing/recording on near max settings.

If you built it yourself you basically have to trial and error to figure out where the problem is. It could even be mobo, psu, etc etc.
Not worth giving any thought to drivers or game patches until after that's sorted.

does seem like it, im gonna send it down to the repair shop to get that sorted out. but, i dont think it will affect my performance, since the cpu, gpu and with 1 stick of 8gb ram is working fine.
if any of those werent, rome 2 and other games would have failed equally too.

Have you tried turning the vertical synchronization off?
If other games run fine it's software problem I guess.

omg, i feel so stupid. fixed it. it was only a gaming app that comes with msi that controls the clock speed of SOMETHING. so it was 800mhz at regular usage, but you can toggle it to gaming mode at 4400mhz, which gives me all the fps i need now.
guess this is fixed.
