Greetings,
I recently bought a system mainly for gaming. My new specs are:
- A10 5800K APU
- Asrock FM2A85X Extreme4
- 2x4GB 2400Mhz Kingston hyperX ram
My old system was:
- AMD Phenom II 565 BE
- Gigabyte GA-MA78GM S2H mobo
- Gigabyte GeForce 9600 GT 1MB VGA
- Kingston 2x2GB DDR2 ram
None of the above were overclocked.
My main problem is with my new specs I get equal or even lower results in both 3Dmark06, Vantage and Heaven benchmarks. Actually the 3DMarks report my CPU way better that the Phenom one but I got way lower GPU performance aswell.
I read somewhere that APU's GPU performance is all about RAM speed so overclocking the rams could grant some speed increase but I just cant get my rams to be overclocked in the UEFI. There are 2 profiles, for 2133 and for 2400 MHz. If I set any of those and save bios it seems all ok but on the next start there is no any speed increase. This is my CPU-Z info when I use the 2400 profile: http://i.imgur.com/QwfoiYw.jpg
While the new Sisoft Sandra reports it still working on 1333 which is the default speed of the mobo.
I was able to increase the GPU memory from the default 512 MB to 1GB or above that I don't know if it helps or not. Also GPU-Z reports some values like bandwidth etc. lower than other 5800Ks: http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/13/03/10/ev9.png
Would you please tell me what options I have to increase my gameing performance.
