This is my 1st post on a forum, sorry if a brake any of your customs.

My hardware-------------

FX6100 4.5ghz
Gtx 660ti
8gb ddr3 1600mhz
ASRock 970 EXTREME3
2x 500gb 7200rpm raid 0

My problem--------------

I don't play system intensive games very often so I didn't know i had a problem until my friend came over with a system less than mine. He has a gtx 560 and a fx4100. When we played Planetside 2 he was getting 60fps when i was getting 20 on the same graphics settings. And then again when my other friend came over with a fx6300 and an hd7870, he was getting 40+fps on max graphics and i was getting 20fps on low setting, i even dropped my resolution down to 720p! I also get frame drops down to 5fps! I don't understand why my system witch is better then both of theirs would be getting less fps. I know all you Intel fans are going to say its because i have an amd CPU but that's obviously not the problem because both my friends have AMD CPUs. What could my the be? And what steps can i take to determine the problem. All the forum post i have seen have just told the person to turn there graphics settings down..........

i have the latest graphics drivers.

Just because there isn't a GPU built into the CPU, doesn't mean there isn't one on the North Bridge or integrated in other ways.

Now his board doesn't have a built in GPU, so your statement did apply to the OP, but doesn't apply to all AM3/AM3+ motherboards at all.

Is your monitor plugged into your motherboard or into your graphics card? If it is plugged into your motherboard you need to plug it into the graphics card otherwise you're running on integrated graphics and then you will be getting those horrible numbers.

did the pc work fine before you overclocked the cpu?, is your 4.5GHz stable? my friend had problems with games lagging on his FX 8120, due to not upping his voltage. the overclock was fine up till 4.4 on stock voltage, then he started having problems with games like BF3 having extreme lag spikes, as well as crashing often.

he cant plug into the mobo accidentally, FX cpus dont have a iGPU, therefore there are no video outputs on AM3+ boards

My overclock is stable, i ran prime 95 for 12 hours, max temp was 58c, a bit warm but it wont get anywhere near that temp in games. I have never had a blue screen or recurring game crashes. I just dropped my clock speed back to stock with stock voltage and i'm still having the same problem.
