I had an intel core i5 2500k with a msi p67x-xxxx motherboard, and i got tired of alot of issues i had with it and got a new gigabyte 990fxa-ud3 and a amd fx-8230 cpu. I have a gigabyte 7970 gpu with tri cool fans, corsair vengence 1500mhz 2x4gb ram set a xmp 1. ocz mod extreme 700 watt psu. i have wd 1tb black hdd. a lg dvd drive.
well to begin with my issues. with the intel system i would get lower benchmarks compare to my friends system which was basically the same but he had a newer i5 same chip set motherboard but his was an asus. His was not oc'd and mine was to 4.2ghz.. well we would bench them on heaven 4.0 on the highest settings possible. he would score a 950 at all stock hardware settings. I would get an 850. I put my gpu in his computer and it would score the same. I tried out a newer gigabyte z77 motherboard and it still scored an 850 in my computer. I also could not overclock my gpu at all. maybe 10mhz higher. my friend could go over 100mhz easy. I put my gpu in his system and it would oc like his.
anyways i returned my motherboard and got an amd set up. i got it all together and everything is up to date such as the bios and the drivers. I get a lower score on heaven now like 15 to 20 points lower. I oc my cpu from 3.5 to 4.5 and it didnt change. I tried ever setting i could and it wouldnt change. We benched out computers on 3d mark 11. and the first test ice storm i used to get around an 160,000 score on my intel system. on my amd system 115,000. I got worse scores. I have an old gtx 460 that got better scores.
So my question is what could be causing this issues. I have had alot of game crashes and some games will have stuttering to the game play such as bioshock infinte, rage, boarderlands. Is it the gpu, motherboard,cpu, psu. Im so tired of this. I did a mem test and the ram is ok. Im thinking its the gpu but have my doubts, Im thinking it also could be the psu. I would like to hear what everyone thinks. Sorry if this was unclear. if you need anymore information just let me know and ill try to clear it up. Thanks.
