My Specs are the following
CPU:AMD FX-4100 (quad core) 3.6GHz
RAM:16GB 1866Mhz DDR3
GPU:GTX 560 Ti
The Mother ship(mobo):990FXA-UD3
Hard Drive:1TB

I can OC my CPU and GPU if i need to they run fairly cool
(CPU at 2-4C idle 25-29C full load)
(GPU at 35C idle 63-66 full load)

I have been wanting to play LoZ: SS for awhile now, and i just started playing, and my CPU goes to about 60% usage and GPU goes to 40% but the game runs at 25-29 FPS and i was wondering what was causing this, any help is much appreciated Big Grin

You should have gotten a sandy bridge cpu instead of bulldozer.

Then should have gotten a dual core sandy bridge (i3 or pentium) instead of a quad core bulldozer. And upgraded to somethink like a 2500K later down the road.

Upgrading to an 8 core bulldozer won't improve performance much. And piledriver is unlikely to make significant improvements over bulldozer in IPC and/or clock rate according to AMD themselves. You're pretty much stuck for now.
