CPU/690 getting worse performance? :(
« on: March 26, 2013, 07:26:06 pm »
Current specs:

Asrock fatal1ty 990fx professional
AMD FX-8150 3,6Ghz
Geforce gtx 690
Chieftec Nitro series 1200w
10gb ram

So I got the AMD and 690 for my birthday in September 2012.
Everything worked fantastic and I could play any game I wanted with extreme performance.
(I could play BF3 on ultra with 90FPS  NO LAG!)

couple of months later later I wanted better performance on my AMD so I decided to overclock it.
It was practically a failure and I screwed up a lot. I THEN decided to  reset the processor back to its 3.6 stock and all the volt back to stock.
After that I updated the bios on the mobo and switched the battery (everything went perfectly fine)
I hoped everything would go back to how it used to and I think it did.

But recently (for 1 or 2 months) I have been experiencing a abnormal FPS drop in everything I do
and my friends with both more bad CPU and GPU than I have now play all games with more FPS and no lag than me :(

I thought it was my CPU staring to screw up, but I am not sure. I took a stress test with both my 690 and my friends 6950 (which this case 690 should be way more superior than 6950) and both used my 8150.

Let me just put this easy


Sapphire 6950 ---> lowest FPS = 11.8  highest FPS = Somewhere around 40 FPS 


Geforce 690 ---> Lowest FPS = 6     highest FPS = somewhere around 30 FPS

So apparently got worse result than an almost outdated gpu (in comparison date)


I really got no clue now if it is the Processor or graphic card (or both)
But anyway, I want my computer to have the same performance as when I bought it half a year ago.
Any help would be much appreciated!   :'(

try the new 314.22 driver seems like good 1

also clear cmos  and reset bios to optimized defaults
