Greetings all -

I recently built a new system with the following specs:

Q9450 (not overclocked)
4GB DDR3 7,7,7,20, T1 @ 1333Mhz (Linked to FSB speed)
EVGA 790i Motherboard
EVGA 9800GX2
Vista x64
Heat: 40 C idle / 50 Load
Latest Drivers / MB Bios / Etc.

Anyways, I'm having trouble figuring out where I 'should' be :)

I'm getting 14,500 3DMarks with the above spec in '06.

I run Crysis at 'High' settings with DX9 @ 1680x1050. I use 2x AA.

My FPS is 21-30 in very complex areas (like the North Korean bases) and 35-45 in less complex places (basic jungle scenes and the tank portion of the 'onslaught' level). In very rare cases, its hit 16-17FPS, but almost never drops below 21.

Is my system performing as expected, or should I be concerned?

Thanks for any advice / tips.
 
3dmark seems a tad slow, but nothing to worry about. I'm around mid 17k but I'm oc'ed. Crysis fps are tough to compare to as I do not enable AA, but I know I would be okay with those fps.
 
If you disable AA you will be able to run with some Very High settings. Try with shaders/post-processing on Very High and awe at the glory of the "god rays"!!!! The game will look a lot better.
 
Sounds about right. I get a 3DMark of around about 19,000 with the sig rig so your score is within expectations.

You really need to crank up that Q9450 a bit with that 790! You should be about to hit 3.4 easy.
