Hi gents, I was just curious if anyone is having issues or frame rate loss with any of the Z68 boards. I'm seeing about an 8FPS drop in benchmarks (compared with an old mobo and with benchmarks I see) with dual 580s on a Maximus IV Extreme-Z. I've tried moving them to different slots and it makes no difference. Drivers are the latest, thanks for any input.
 
Is the performance loss versus a P67 mobo? If so, can you disable the integrated graphics or just uninstall the drivers for it. That looks like a killer mobo so I'd expect great performance from it.
 
It was an EVGA X58 board I used to have. I've tried enabling and disabling various parts of the Lucid features in the bios, not sure which drivers could be affecting it.
 
What game and which CPU was it before at what speed, and what is the clock rate on the current CPU?
 
It was an i7 960. I've been using Unigine cranked on all settings at 1920x1080. It used to be 58 fps, which seems in tune with other benchmarks I'm seeing on around the net, now I only get 52 fps. Not a huge loss, but seems more then it should be by what I'm seeing on other people's systems.
 
That probably the issue then as it looks like you might be CPU limited, try OCing the 2600 (it's easy) and see if that helps things.
 
I'm waiting on a new cooler before I OC, I just don't think a minor OC would make ~8 fps worth of difference.
 
OMG, not 8fps on a benchmark! How can you live with this?!?
