So I take it.. Counterstrike is a kidd-os game? Which I guess explains why spec jokey knows of it?

Gold star at tanget topic atempt to take focus off you saying you never rant about the promises.. but no sale! :razz:

Poor Tvrdi.. I guess my post tearing your RoF comparsion to CoD a new one upset you such that you feel the need to lash out? So sad.. Let it go

Yes, the CPU is not really keeping up, but the game is not really utilizing the CPU it to its full potential; however overall I think most Sandy Bridge Intel CPU’s will beat the AMD CPU’s due to their faster memory read/write speeds. I am hoping with an optimized game and more mature video drivers I can turn on all the present eye candy. Don’t get me wrong, the game is very smooth at 45 FPS over a town and when flying over everything else it is at 80+ with no issues and it does not turn into a stutter fest while heavily engaged over a town with lots of flack and aircraft. Bottom line the game still looks great with the settings I have. It is the Shadows, but specifically shadows while flying over towns where I get a big FPS hit so for the moment they are turned off.

As for the grass, I don’t know what is going on there, it is not an FPS issue it is just a persistent stutter, but since I don’t cut the grass very often I don’t really care about it.

I can only get the CPU to 3.4 on stock volts and this is my first time overclocking so I am taking my time and learning as much as possible before I start to mess with the voltages.

Actually you never replayed to my last (big) post because its right on the spot....only things, on which you are sticking your crusading nosie, are only a small teases for clowns...hopefuly, once when (and if) they (1C) fix the performance of their graphic engine the need for your existance on these boards will vanish...but then again, who cares for one little tortuous soul, right?

Take your time, but you can do it very easy.
You have unlocked multi on 1090T, put your CPU voltage on 1,4 V
and change multiplier and I'm pretty shure you will find it stable at 3.8-3.9 GHz.

You can't damage CPU with that voltage, just watch temperature with
HWmonitor ( this one is the most precise for AMD I think).
If it is under 60* C loaded with Prime95 for example,it is OK,
in il2 it will be arround 50* C.

If you find it stable then you can try to lover CPU voltage step by step,
with testing in between,to find sweet spot, minimal CPU voltage for desired CPU frequency.
From my experience 1.37- 1.38 V is usually enough for 3.8 -3.9 GHz,
but that depends on particular CPU speciment.

Check your PM !

If believing that makes you feel better..

So be it..

No skin off my back because guys like Bliss, I and others saw your comparisons for what it was.. apples vs. oranges.

By the way.. Is that why you felt the need to lash out and start calling me names? Because more than one person saw through your smoke screen

I have just built a system with a 1090t and m5a97, and have it overclocked to 3.9ghz and 1.375v. Hope that helps!

That's it ... I'm heading off to the local PC shop after work and I'm going to getz me a new card. I'm sick of Crossfire and stutters.
