That is good but for how much that card is (650 Euros here) i would say it's rather disappointing...but as long as you are happy then that's all that matters

[MadMojo]

Just out of curiosity... what would you have expected? Average FPS seems to be about twice as much as yours...

[SouthAfricanBru]

Yes the average fps is very very good but i expected it to always stay above 60 fps on those settings...

To be Honest i blame game developers for not creating a challenge for PC's maybe that's because the PS3 and Xbox are still around which i don't even know how old they are now.
I mean think about Crysis it is still used as a benchmark tool and when they made Crysis 2 for the consoles well it's not that much harder to run then the 1st one and i think this is why i'm disappointed.

changes !!!

Added next 16 gb Memory ram from kingston (the same as early) so now I have/I need:

Case - CORSAIR Graphite Series 600T Special Edition White
CPU - Intel Core i7-3820 3.60GHz Sandy Bridge-E CPU
Motherboard - ASUS SABERTOOTH X79 Intel X79 Socket 2011
RAM Memory - Kingston 32GB Quad Channel DDR3 1600MHz XMP HyperX
GPU - ASUS GeForce GTX670 DirectCU II TOP
First HDD - OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SATA III 2.5" SSD
Cooling - CORSAIR CWCH80 Hydro Series H80
Sound card - ASUS Xonar D2 Soundcard - 7.1 Ultra Fidelity
PSU - CORSAIR AX850 Professional Series Gold
LCD monitor - ASUS VG278H 27” LCD 3D, 120 Hz ( with NVIDIA 3D Vision™ 2 )
Headset - CORSAIR HS1A Gaming Headset

Mouse - CORSAIR Vengeance M60 Gaming Mouse
Second HDD - 1TB GB SATA II 2.5" HDD
Third HDD - 1TB GB SATA II HDD

Instead fans from Hydro colling H80 I used two 120mm Scythe Gentle Typhoon 1850 RPM Cooling Fans and one more inside case..

that fans are great.. high airflow volume and .. quiet.. better than all others..

.





The newly designed motor and motor support mechanism of the GentleTyphoon uses a double vibration reduction structure. The new support mechanism uses coil dampers to greatly reduce vibration.

Instead MICROSOFT Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 now I have and use MICROSOFT Natural Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard 7000
Instead OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SATA III 2.5" SSD now I have OCZ Vertex 4 256GB SATA III 2.5" SSD

PSU:

CORSAIR AX850 Professional Series™ Gold - 80 PLUS® Gold Certified Fully-Modular Power Supply

My PSU Corsair AX850 died... in first decade of February 2016 .. but I had 7 years warranty (from may 2012 - may 2019) so I sent warranty request to Corsair. I get RMA number and sent faulty PSU to Corsair [ I'm surprised because now in UK is Corsair Return Centre - before was in continental Europe - for example when I replaced my headset CORSAIR HS1A Gaming Headset (problems with microphone) for a Corsair VENGEANCE 1300]. Today I received information from Corsair, that ( probably ) I will have PSU Corsair AX860.. (instead 80 Plus Gold - 80 Plus Platinum )... So keep fingers crossed and... CU in BF4
