Passmark might have a CPU limitation resulting in the lower or higher performances. I see these coincide with your cpu scores.

As I said in my previous post, install the latest patch from http://www.gamefront.com/crysis-2-patch-v1-1-download/

It's not a driver issue, but a game problem with some of the lighting, I had insane flickering and this fixes it.

This should fix the problem if not there is a few more tricks that can be tried.

You can have a look at rampage gaming as well. I got extremely good service there. Order my HD5970 and CPU and Motherboard from them on the Friday morning and collected it on the Sunday on my way past. My box was delivered in 3 days.

Not to sure if a topic for this already exists. I bought the game when it launched, but have not been able to play it due to the low FPS.

My first attempt, will give it a go on my 4.9ghz profile and post the screens shots and pics.

Challenge accepted: I'll give it a bash and post the result sometime tonight.

Thanks, I have a post in the "Post your Rig" thread. Just updated the pics.

I have not been able to get my timings below the XMP profile without running a lower frequency. I have played around with it a bit over the last while and only in SuperPi have I seen some small benefit of running lower frequency and tighter memory timings. Other factor such as CPU, GPU and HDD speed...

For my own health I decided to stop counting 3/4 way through the build, but if I do get run over by a car, my wife will sell it to someone for a real bargain

This is my 3D Mark 11 score, think I can get a little more, will work on it this comming weekend.

Thanks, I've been building on this one for about 2 months now. The last bit I did was the EK WC upgrade, works wonders.

Here's my latest score, now working on getting above 50k
