I know the dual core 6400 wilts in the face of competition from some of Intel's faster quads, but I am getting, literally, one frame per second during the CPU test for 3DMark06. I don't put much stock in synthetics (real world apps/games are performing well), so I'm not losing sleep over it, but I am curious as to why AMD's fastest dual core is failing so spectacularly. Any ideas?

Everyone gets 1FPS on the CPU test. Nothing abnormal going on there.

I also had the same problem but with a e6300 @ 2.8ghz, like chris said, it's for everybody.

I get 1-3fps on Q6600@3.6ghz. The cpu test on 3dmark06 uses large number of AI simulating threads, and is supposed to be extremely taxing.

Even my QX9650 at 3.6 ghz gets 1-3 fps in Red Valley. Its an intense test that loads the CPU to the max. My old FX60 only got 1-2 fps, so your 6400+ isn't doing bad at all in this particular test.

Over 50. Seen it, done it, can't remember it, but I miss it.

Ever since I upgraded to my Q6600, even running it stock, I got 1-2fps. But the difference here is, that benchmark went faster then I'm usually used ta. :lol:

I remember running that on my P4 and E4400, it took longer to run, and actually thought.. did it lock up? :sweat:

I'm pretty happy with my Quad, even though my MB wouldn't work with Q9450/9550.

Thanks everybody. I guess my experience is not abnormal.

At 4ghz i've hit 4 fps with my q6600 in the test 2.
So yeah, 1 fps is normal for a dual core AMD.
With my 5000+/ASUS crosshair o/c'd to 3150 it does 1 fps.
Peaks at 2 with my e8400.
