[QUOTE="Quinten, post: 1689153, member: 360078"] The 970 is waaaaaay better than an 5770 or 5870:). Normally when speaking about a 'Bottleneck' means when for example your cpu is a lot more powerful than your gpu. In this case your cpu is bottlenecking your 970 a bit indeed. But i don't think this is the issue since your cpu should be powerful enough. I have the same issues when gaming on mac. My framerate won't go higher than 30fps as if it is locked there. So yes installing a copy of Windows 7 64 bit will definitely help with gaming. once you've done that you should be playing the newest titles at high 60fps ;). Edit: I did not see you already had W7 installed (Derp) Are you running w7 64 bit though? [/QUOTE]
