Overclocked my I5 2500k from stock 3.3ghz to 4.2ghz. I know its stable from a 12 hr prime 95 test, and I also ran LinX for 2 hours, using all memory and I get 115 Gflops average, when its about 89 @ stock.
I tried some benchmarks in Last story, and the FPS minimums didn't improve any in some of the problem areas. I still got dips as low as 20fps in some areas. In fact I used a save state in one spot where I was sitting on 20fps @ 3.3ghz, and rebooted, OC'd, then reloaded the save state and its still 20fps in the same spot. I was expecting at least a 2-3 FPS boost on the minimum side, what gives? Is there something more going on here than just CPU power?
And its not quite as bad as I'm making it out to be, the game runs 30+ FPS 95% of the time, but there are some problem areas where the FPS just tanks in this game.
I benchmarked Skyrim, and I got a noticeable FPS increase in Skyrim, about 6fps on the minimum.
