Hey Guys, I've got a situation, this morning I picked up my new MIS 980 GTX Gaming ( :banana: ) but there's a problem with it's performance.. My specs are: Intel Core i5 4460 @ 3.2 GHz. MSI 980 GTX Gaming 4G 2x 4GB Ram 1600 Mhz 500 Watt PSU 24" Samsung FHD monitor. While trying Crysis 3 on 4k, which should do around 30fps at least, it drops between 8 and 15 fps.. So, a friend of mine and I, suspect there to be a bottleneck in my system somewhere. The CPU should be fine, so maybe it's the RAM but we are not sure. Does anyone has issues with 8GB in combination with the 980 GTX? Is there something with the setup I would probably have missed? Thanks for your help in advance

Not to mention if you use any kind of MSAA/TXAA, use SMAA low (1x) only. And set shading to high instead of v.high, this will have the biggest fps boost, like by any Crysis so far. EDIT: Crysis3 maxed settings @ 4k reso..
