KRAILED :
Thank you for your replys to my problem here. I get around 30-40 fps in left 4 dead max settings and only 70 fps in CoD2 with it at 2.2. So if anyone has any other solutions, I'll be very happy to hear them, or I'm just convinced that this Phenom 9500 is just failing me hard and I'll be switching over to Intel.
My fps in L4D ranges from about 55 when I swarmed by Zombies up to about 110 when I'm inside a building looking at the walls. I've got an Athlon X2 7750 @3.0Ghz and Radeon 4670@ stock with 4Gb of ram. I play with it on max settings 1680x1050 res.
The Phenom 9500 is a B2 stepping, they were terrible overclockers and suffered a TLB problem. A fix was issued to motherboards to fix the TLB but it sacrificed something like 10-20% of the Phenoms performance. You should look in your BIOS and see if you can find any setting to turn that off, the TLB will probably never effect you anyways. Also if your able to overclock, try and overclock your processor.
Just so you know the E8500 does make the Phenom look bad in most games, it also beats Intels quads in most games due to its higher clock frequency. Most games currently don't take advantage of more than 2 cores, once more games come out that truely utilize more than 2 cores, the slower clocked quads will out perform the faster duel cores in new games.
