Phenom II x4 955 running on M2N32-SLI Deluxe slow performance

Last response: in CPUs
Share

I just bought a AMD Phenom II x4 955 for my M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard. I read that others were able to get it to work so I wanted to try. I do have it working but when I run 3DMark06 my score is still very low, Far Cry 2 benchmarks are only averaging 40 - 45 avg.I fixed the issue with Cool 'n Quiet and only running 800mhz. My score is 10645 but everyone else is around 20k. Here are my specs, can anyone help explain why?

4 GB RAM
2x275 GTX SLI

are you only running at 800mhz? download cpu-z and check the clock speed. I had to go into bios and manually set things to get it running at normal speeds

If I had left cool n quiet enabled I could never get above 800mhz. I used CPU-Z to find my actual speed it is now running at 3.2Ghz. 200x16. But that is not the point. Why do I still have weak performance, am I missing something.

Who is everybody else?

A lot of factors can go into a score.

They may be overclocking the cpu or gpu.

They may be running the benchmark in a different vesion of DirectX.

They may have a different operating system.

They may be running a different resolution.

I had to do the same thing, then adjust the multiplier for each of the CPUs in the Nvidia control panel. The version of my BIOS is 5002, what version are you running? What scores or benchmarks do you use?

I understand there are a lot of factors that could play into this? I posted to see if anyone had a similar situation. I've had you reply to my postings before and do not appreciate your condescending remarks, if you have anything to say that is helpful that would be greatly appreciated but please don't post just to post.

Condescending remarks? What part of my reply to you was condescending??

You shouldn't use such big words if you don't even know the meaning.

I listed the factors that would make a score different. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

You can really only compare scores with others using similar GPUs with similar processors....

As for FarCry, list the resolution and game settings please...

When benchmarked FarCry2 I set the res to 1980x1080 and very high settings. Also, when I look in the nivida control panel I have SLI enabled and I'm running the latest drivers.

Is there a way to verify that both cards are actually being used in SLI?

Thanks I found the indicators and I also figured out the low frame rate issue in FarCry 2. It was the profile, it was not setup for SLI. I assumed it would just take my global settings, but once I change it, framerates went up into the low to mid 70's
