Hello,
Well the title says it all I have a Athlon II X3 435 unlocked to Phenom II X4 B35 @ 3.4ghz without l3 cache and yet my cpu is a bottleneck for my gpu. I have tried lots of things I have read almost every forum and I can't find any solution I play on 1280x1024 and get like 25 fps max settings but even on 800x600 i get 25fps exactly the same with some fps drops to 15 when I turn around orsomething cpu usage is around 70-80% GPU usage is about 68% when I run a benchmark I get average fps 42.8 when I watch youtube I see people with similar cpu (phenom ii x4 955) and same GPU getting like 65 fps in benchmark and 40fps in-game same settings I have no idea what to do anymore.
P.S I have tried setting bios to both optimized and fail-safe defaults I have set the Ram *** to both ganged/unganged I have changed some settings of my pc nothing. CPU never hits more than 50c GPU gets around 65c
PC Specs:
Windows 7 32bit SP1
Radeon HD6870
Phenom II X4 B35 @ 3.4ghz
Samsung F3 spinpoint 1Tb
4Gb Ddr2-800mhz ram
Gigabyte ga-ma785g-ud3h
