hello guys. i do some tests with 3dmark vantage on my cpu fx8350. i do the tests many times. usually i get 18500 score which is low because two of my friends have the same cpu (one of them have even the same mobo) and they get 21500 cpu score. some other times when i run the test again i get 21500 cpu score too. anyone knows what is going on with my chip? i also get low scores with 3dmark 11, my friend got 6752 physics score and i got 6500 but when i did it again i got 5500 physics score...

my hardware is: cpu fx8350, gpu 7870oc, mobo gigabyte ga-990 fxa ud3 rev 1.0, 6gb memory 1333mhz transcend
 
could be slow ram, 1600 is standard at least to stop any performance hits.

could be driver and/or bios, make sure bios is latest and drivers are up to date.
also clean your drivers with driver fusion before updating or reinstalling them once you have removed them.
