I'm a pretty experienced PC builder, and I am stumped.
Specs are:
Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 v1.3 i7 2600K 16 GB DDR3 MSi 650 Ti Win7 64
Got all the MB drivers from the Gigabyte site and the latest video drivers form the Nvidia site.
3dmark is scoring like 5 times lower than computers with similar builds.

Very much appreciate any advice.

No. I might at some point, but I want to solve the problem of it not performing up to it's nominal level before messing with any of that.

I've been testing with Borderlands 2 which should run just fine on this rig at my monitors native res of 1680x1050, but even when I drop it down to something like 1280x960 it's pretty poor. That's with the default setup in terms of detail, FSAA, shadows, etc.

We're talking 15FPSish

Still terrible. You can't turn Physx off in BL2 Iguess, but I turned it to low (as low as it goes). Still 15 FPS or worse.

Thanks for the help.

Mute audio on focus loss on
autodetect settings off
1680x1050
Ambient Occlusion off

Couple of things:

Change power options to high performance, PCI Express Link State Power Management - set to disable.

Uninstall any of the "extra" gigabyte software not relating to actual important mobo functions.

Make sure you have direct x updated.

Make sure you have newest mobo bios.

Make sure your hard drives are not having any issues, run check disk.


Run ram testing software, and make sure its set to the proper speed, voltage etc

If your mobo has built in graphics have it disabled and chosen first boot device to PEG.

Get into safe mode, uninstall all graphics drivers, then run a driver cleaner to get rid of anything, and re-install.
