My Far Cry 2 Benchmarks

[JPB]

These are some of my Far Cry 2 benchmark runs. Can someone please explain to me why when my CPU speed increases, the FPS goes down?

Here they are, have a look.

Because your CPU is throttling because it is getting hot? Also at that resolution you are much more GPU limited so CPU speed does not change FPS by much if at all.

 

[JPB]

The load temps on my E7200 at 3.0 load is 45c. This was checked using Real Temp.

Hmm, I thought the 9800GTX would be sufficient for 1920x1080.

 

[SSChevy2001]

What's your system memory speeds at those cpu clocks? Maybe ram speed has something to do with the problem.

Are these benchmarks DX10 or DX9? DX9 works a lot better at that resolution with your card.

 

[JPB]

These were run in DX9 and the memory I believe was running at 948 (DDR2 800). Will have to double check to make sure.

that is weird you are getting decent avg fps tho
