Hi chaps.
I have recently got my new system up and running which was way over due! I have noticed when overclocking the CPU that my 3dmark score drops while the physics increase??
I have tried searching the net and the only thing I've found is something to do with catalyst control center throttling the GPU speed? Surely not if it's the CPU speed I'm increasing not the GPU? Have I hit a bottleneck perhaps? Or an unstable overclock even with a test on prime95?
My system is;
Gigabyte Z68AP-D3
Sandybridge i2500K @ 4Ghz (lower score at 4.6Ghz)
Corsair A50 CPU Cooler
Kingston Blu (2x2) 4GB 1600mhz
Radeon R6870 MSi
CPU Clock at 4Ghz, 3dmark score was P4650, CPU at 4.6Ghz was P4498??
I think it's worth mentioning that in both tests the GPU was overclocked mildly too.
Any help would be hugely appreciated
