Specs of my rig
Asus Maximus II with a q9650 @ 3.6ghz
8GB DDR2-800 (4x2gb)
HD6950 unlocked to 1536shaders and overclocked to 940/1480
1920x1080 monitor res
I cannot really overclock much past 3.6ghz without overly stressing my RAM with high voltage so I just left it running 1:1 with my FSB (400x9)
I feel like I should be getting better framerates than what I am right now. Just some examples
Crysis 1 - high - about 45FPS, ultra about 40FPS (low and medium give me 60/50 fps)
Serious Sam 3: 45FPS avg maxed out vs my buddy getting about 60FPS on a 2500k and stock 6870
BF3 - ultra settings and high settings both with deferred shading off give me about 40-45FPS outside in larger maps (dips in the low 30's)
ES5 Skyrim Outside it drops to the upper 30's tweaked ini and maxed out otherwise
3dmark11 score is P5350 which is about where I should be at.
Anyone else with a 45nm q9x00 getting bottlenecked like this? Thanks for the feedback
