Phenom 1090T slows down my HD6870

Also disable cool and quiet in bios.

Never do this.

I agree with bd231.

Its like people saying disable speedstep on i7. If you are trying to find a stable overclock sure but when you have found it put it back on.

I guess some people like their machines idling at 4Ghz and pulling 200watts just sitting at the desktop.

While i do agree with you about speedstep/c&q i dont think you understand how CPU's and power usage work. Say you have a 125w TDP CPU and disable c&q its not goiong to draw 125w while idle, only under load.

Using DDR2-800 as the system memory?!?!?!!? With a Thuban?

:x

Thanks for the correction Rifterut

I know this just didn't word it properly.

I think everyone understand what I meant tho.

It doesn't make very much difference. DDR3 has higher clocks, but also higher latency, so it ends up not being much faster for much of anything outside of sandra on AMD X4/X6 platform. This is especially true if you're comparing say ddr2-800 cl4 vs. ddr3-1333 cl8

You got 3x 2GB memory DIMMS, either get 1 more 2GB (8GB total) and install it or remove one of the DIMMS (4GB). I think you are running in single-chanel mode right now. Also OC the NB to at least 2.4 or 2.6GHz.

Hey!

I recently upgrade (¿?) my Phenom II X2 550 BE to a Phenom II X6 1090T BE.
I also have a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H, 6GB DDR2, and the HD 6870.

The thing is that in 3DMark 11 the graphic test goes wors in the 1090T than in the 550:thumbsdown:. Even when the 1090T has higher freq., more cores and the Turbo Core enabled :\

Look:
http://3dmark.com/compare/3dm11/192978/3dm11/196508

It is the exaclty the same system except for the processors.

Any ideas?
Maybe a botleneck in the memory?

Thanks!

Pd: The temps are fine.

Huh?

The X2 550 scores P3287 3DMarks
The X6 1090 scores P3742 3DMarks

3742 > 3287

The ~1 fps difference in the actual detailed scores is probably within the benchmark error - haven't played around with 3Dmark 2011...

I tried and doesn't work:\

Under GTA IV, the GPU load is on 40-45% and the CPU load is on the same level (I have a BIG bottleneck somewere...). I also tried to disable four cores to see what happens and the 550 runs better.
The only thing that improves the performance (100 points in 3dmark 11) was to set the ECC Firmware in NORMAL.

Under GTA IV, the GPU load is on 40-45% and the CPU load is on the same level (I have a BIG bottleneck somewere...)

I will try a clean install of Win 7, but if it doesn't work I don't have many more options...

What were your actual FPS in GTIV with the x2 550 and with the x6 1090?

Also check for BIOS updates as someone said if you bought the board a while ago...

You got 3x 2GB memory DIMMS, either get 1 more 2GB (8GB total) and install it or remove one of the DIMMS (4GB). I think you are running in single-chanel mode right now. Also OC the NB to at least 2.4 or 2.6GHz.

Single channel could be a problem, as could being in 2T rather than 1T... but I don't know if the IMC has to run looser timings with 3 sticks...
