Is something wrong? I see guys with scores of an excess of 5K. Lately I've been noticing a drop in frame rates in BC2. I think it has something to do with my CPU? I can't even get it stable at 3.4GHZ with 1.4V. I've been thinking of getting a 1090T? What do you guys think?

Seems like an appropriate score for your cpu/ram+single gpu. I wouldn't think too much of it though, if it plays your games fine then disregard the score. You'll get into benchmarking epeen buying fever which is dangerous.

This.....

But really, I had a 955 at 4.2 with a single 570 and was pulling 5800ish if I remember right. Went up to around 8900 after sli and then up to 11k when I went to the 2500k @4.8.

If you can't overclock much and need more fps in your games I would recommend something like the 955 for sheer cost effectiveness.

The X6 won't do much in gaming.

The overclock is probably unstable. Go with the 955. Best deal out there at the moment. If it's a C3 stepping, it'll handle 4GHz no problem.

The max safe voltage for a AMD CPU is around 1.5 volts,so you can raise it and see if that helps.
Everything else in your system is great,just drop in a X4 955 or 965 BE.
A 1090T is awesome,but games don't even use all six cores,so a X4 will be just fine.
Btw,do you have the latest drivers for your GTX570?

I scored 4396 with my current AMD setup_ you're scores are actually pretty good for that setup =]

OC the card to 850 atleast, then the 570 will Fly in 3Dmark 11 and games. Also a 4ghz OC on a Phenom II 955 isn't a given.

I just got this CHIV a week ago so it will be compatible with bulldozer. I'll see if I can sell my 4890's, if I can its probably a 955 for me.

That hasn't been confirmed yet, but I hope it is as well cause I would like to purchase my CHIV Formula and bulldozer combination too
