The answer, more than likely, is yes but any thoughts / help would be appreciated.

I have been messing about with upping the overclock on my Q6600 and no probs at all getting 3.6 stock volts etc.

I was testing by using 3DM06 and noticed as soon as the first test started I was only getting around 34 - 36 FPS as opposed to 80 odd I usually get.

Lo and behold my full score was a pitiful 4990 (as opposed to around 14K I was expecting).

Subsequently I checked (In Everest and RivaTuner) and my clocks on the GFX were fine.

I jumped into COD 4 (which I have synched and locked at 60 FPS) and to mu surprise 35 FPS !!

Same in ET:QW - I took of the OC and went back to stock 2.4 GHz and all was fine - Ive upped it to 3 GHz and all is fine.

Went back to 3.6 GHz - same halving of FPS in 3DM06 and in game !!

I haven't tried the incremental increases to see at what point this occurs, but have dropped back to 3 and all is fine :S

Is there any reason (and im really sorry if im being a complete tard here) as to why the CPU speed would affect my in game FPS ??

As a slight aside, I used to have a B3 Q6600 and going to 3.6 GHz didn't affect the FPS :S

Any help and / or thoughts would be greatly appreciated :)

What clocks/settings are you using to get to 3.6, 400*8? also what settings/dividers do you have the RAM set to. One last thing have you tried running Prime when clocked at 3.6?
 
Hi

clocks are 400 *9 to get the 3.6

the RAM is just set to auto in BIOS

I havent tried Prime for stability - didmt get that far

Im bemused to how my CPU speed can affect my GFX performance :s

hope this helps

Manually set it to 100 or 101.

This will keep your graph card stable and be not effected by any O/Cing of the CPU .

101 had no effect


but ........

100 seems to work fine - no slow down in 3DM06 or COD 4 :cool::D


Thank you very much - fantastic :D
