 Hello everybody,

I've a problem with my config when i want to play WoW.

I've i7 960 + gtx 960 4go +16go ram on DX58SO with sierra install on all this on a 41" screen iiyama 2160P (3840x2160) it fully fonctional exept one thing clear.png

When i launch my game my predefinied graphics (bliizard auto detect) are at the minium and the game isn't smooth at all.


i've all driver installed and i don't wont to use metal API i only use OpenCL. (Cuda installed too i don't know if i need cuda but it's installed)


If anybody have any idea let me know plz

We should first check whats exact the problem!

And about what "low FPS" we talk using that high res iiyama 2160P (3840x2160).

First test should be if the web driver is really used /loaded. (nvidia web driver listet in the kextstat terminal command output OR tool webdriver check :   

 

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/695-webdrivercheck/

 

If its loaded ( i think, otherwise no game would run and even scrolling / window handling in oS X is very laggy) an OpenGL bench would help to compare

result with others with same / similar gpu.

The bench should run (for all testers) in same res!!! - because the FPS depend extreme on the res of the monitor - 2K vs 4K+ res on same gpu >> 50% FPS difference.

Even it is an Metal Bench - it gives good first sign if drivers work or not and how fast. 

NBody_Metal_Bench_V11.zip

We already collected FPS results for that bench :

GTX 950  @ 40960 bodies : 43 FPS

GTX 970 @ 40960 bodies :  above 60 FPS

GTX 970 57344 bodies :  41 FPS  (to switch to 57344 bodies press + key (@ num keyboard)

my GT 740 @ 40960 bodies : 8 FPS :) 

If your driver / gpu GTX 960  works you should get at least 40 FPS @ 40960 bodies and >= 30 FPS  57344 bodies.

If something wrong (GPU clock stays idle = low gpu clock! - even under gpu load = low OpenGL/Metal/ OpenCL) FPS you will see that. Doenst matter its Metal.

 

Good ( small DL + and comparable) is OPENGL GPU Test (FurMark, Tess,...)

DL: GpuTest_OSX_x64_0.7.0.zip

Start after unzipping the GpuTest_GUI programm. Select 1680x1050 res (for comparable results), Run bench - bench runs around 1 Minute and then show the result.

 

Running windowed 1680x1050 ( thats because comparable = same res as other testers) my GT 740 is getting 12 FPS.

Your GTX 960 should run at this res > 25 FPS i think until we have some results from GTX 9xxx users.

If you run that fullscreen and not windowed @1680x1050  res, you see that the  FPS compared to your  windowed 1680x1050 FPS will be much, much lower.
