This is my specs CPU i5 750 @ 2,67GHz Can't OC
1x HD 7970 GHz Edition 3gb VRAM GDDR5 On PCI-E 2.0 16x
3x 2gb 1333MHz DDR3
GS 800w
Mini Tower Case
It's a Inspiron 580 BCC bought from Dell. I upgraded the GPU for the moment, this chrismas i'll buy a new case, HDD/SSD, RAM, Motherboard, CPU, other 7970 GHz Editon to XFire and some other things. I'm getting about 6k to 7k on 3dmark and very low FPS on physics (15FPS average). I know that i'm getting a little of bottleneck because of the CPU and the PCI-e, but this is normal for this specs? I installed the new GPU and the PSU
 


It's about what I would expect given the old CPU. What 3DMark benchmark are you referencing exactly?
 
The i 5 750 came out almost 5 years ago it could be the reason for your bottleneck as I am sure your aware of this is there any cou you could upgrade to thus to improve your benchmarks im sure the gpu the radeon you own does well above 15 fps on any game given the data on the net.

Yes, is the score correct given the old CPU. It's 3DMark Basic Edition.

Battlefield 3 i'm getting about 55 - 100 fps, but sometimes it slows down to 20/10 fps thats weird, recently i installed the 13.8 catalyst driver. Larger maps, because of the CPU, i get 45 to 70 fps. Those drops of fps i dont know the reason, could someone help me? It may be the beta drive. I'll try to unistall older drivers.
