Low Frames On New Build

Done.

I tried running Saints Row 3 again and I actually got it running this time, but i got a blank screen with vertical lines when i exited 'my crib'. The first time I tried running it, it loaded the main menu and i got a blue screen with vertical lines down it. the same thing happened a couple of days back when i tried playing sims 3.

Has anything improved on the games you can actually run, without crashes?

Try and reinstall the graphics drivers and remove the old ones with driver sweeper, just to be sure they've been removed. But the XMP profile is what the RAM should be running on. If that still doesn't work, them perhaps running without the XMP profile is best.

I reinstalled the the drivers while waiting for a reply. I cant turn XMP off or anything, i just have a choice between auto and XMP profile 1.
 
Ran Saints Row 3 Maxed out ... 22 - 35 FPS. Saw a video on youtube with the same graphics card and an i5 2500k (non oc'd) 45 - 55 FPS. I swear I was Getting pretty much 50 - 60FPS with an i5 2400 and GTX 560 ti though... I might swap out my HD 7850 for my GTX 560 ti and see what happens from there.

Worth a try.
 
I'm out of ideas then. It's very strange that your games don't like the RAM running on the XMP profile, perhaps you could try and set the timings and voltages manually without selecting the XMP profile, although I suspect this will produce the same result as running with the XMP profile on. The only other thing to do would be to upgrade the hard drive, in my opinion.
 
I think you might be expecting a bit too much running all your games on max settings with AA, although your FPS does seem a little lower than I'd expect. Drop the settings down a notch and you should find most games are perfectly playable.

Your HDD is on its way out so make sure your important data is backed up. You wouldn't go wrong by dropping in an SSD. Personally I'd also upgrade to Windows 7, although that is almost guaranteed to stop Fallout3 working. Maybe dual boot with Vista if you want to play that ;)

You've not got any silly BIOS settings such as disabling some of the CPU cores or dropping the PCI-E speed to 1x have you? :D
 
I've got the same build as you, only difference is 2TB HDD and Windows 7 (Dont have exactly what you got, different brands and stuff.)

I just loaded up Minecraft and I get around 100FPS with a 128X128 Texture pack (the chunks are still loading, and I don't have optifine.)

Saints Row 3 ran maxed at 60FPS, it did drop to around 55 sometimes but had v-sync on and I've heard that it's not the greatest port and has some issues with AMD

As for Metro, not exactly sure, but I play at Very High/Dx11 and it was playable, I didn't have a fps marker up but it felt around 40.

Like I said, exactly the same builds except for Bigger (7200Rpm, I think?) and I've got Win 7. So if it was down to the actual build itself it's either them two or somethings just wrong. When you said you tested the 560Ti again, what did you test it with? Ur new stuff or old stuff?

GTX with my new stuff. I sold the rest of my old parts apart from my DVD drive and hard drive.
