Bottleneck or scarce source?

[incrediboy]

uff well if when overclocking you are sure that the performance decreases it may be due to a lack of power supply. run some benchmarks with and without overclocking to make sure that the fps decrease with overclocking, and if so you would have to look into what problem there is with your power supply.

Well, 3dmark11 won't let me install it. It gives me some error of the installer in the version of my OS.
Tomorrow I'll do 3 passes without oc, oc micro, oc graphics.
But with Fraps, I have seen that if I increase the CPU by 10%, it goes down by about 10-15fps. And today I did the same with Batman but doing it with the graphics and the same thing. From 45-60 (without physics) it goes down to 30. Even down to 7 fps.
If I have to change the source... I'll have shot myself in the foot.

Unless your source is damaged for some reason it shouldn't be the problem, I'm starting to suspect that this is a bottleneck caused by something specific...

EDIT: It's unlikely to be the processor, we're talking about an i7 920, it's not the graphics either, the source a priori either... and the RAM, unless you have a problem with it when you apply the OC it shouldn't be the cause either...

The power supply may be faulty or not. But that would be bad luck, honestly, because for a GTX570 you don't need a power supply of more than 550-650W depending on the model of GTX570 (that is, the versions with OC ask for a bit more juice).
However, it's not that the Tacens 700W is a bad choice, but of the few that I have used/installed at work they don't give problems. I mean, it's not the same as the typical "salchichera nisu" brand, but obviously it's not like Corsair or OCZ, etc.

Anyway, first you should check that it's not something software-related. What Operating System do you use?
Check that it's up to date, using the latest Nvidia drivers, etc. Check that the Antivirus isn't causing problems and slowing down the system, or that you have a virus.
Even check if the game you're testing needs any patches.

I speak from my own experience, and it's that a while ago I had a Trojan like a house, and of course I didn't know it, but when playing NFS it was going terribly, and I looked that the GPU usage (HD6950) only reached 50%, and nothing.
The thing is that game always worked well for me, that's why I was annoyed. In the end I crashed the OS and had to reinstall, and that's when it worked correctly.

So, first rule out software issues, ok?

Let's see if I can come to a conclusion because...

Test 1 all by default:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Test 2 OC CPU 10%:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Test 3 OC graphics ( 900/2000/4000
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Test 4 OC graphics and medium power saving:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Test 5 OC graphics and OC CPU:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Even so, are not these values very low???

Done,

Test 1 Default:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Test 2, CPU OC 10%:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Test 3, Graphics OC 900/2000/4000:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Test 4, Graphics OC and medium power saving:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Test 5, Graphics OC and CPU OC:
ImageShack - Online Photo and Video Hosting

Yes, I think those results are a bit low. But I don't think the source has anything to do with it, come on… I still think the issue is the software.

Did you try everything I mentioned in my previous post?

Well, the drivers are the 285.62.
I've run it through avast, and another with spybot. Nothing.
I had to reinstall the OS two weeks ago because BF3 wouldn't run due to the ram issue. And I switched to 64 bits.
I don't know what the hell is going on, but the highest score I got was without overclocking. And as for fps, it varies by 5-7 fps.
I'll try cleaning the registry to see if there's anything left from the 460

Tampoco, he limpiado el registro.
He flasheado la bios de nuevo. Y da los mismos resultados. Voy a probar con reinstalar drivers de nvidia, por probar.

saludos men yo tengo i7 920 a 3.8ghz y gtx 570oc de fabrica a 750mhz el reloj y te digo que en battlefield los fps en averge 45 fps max 65fps min 38fps pero eso todo en ultra excepto antislasing a 2x, the witcher 2 edicion completa todo al maximo menos hiperreal desactivado me va parecido a 50 fps average min 40 fps max 70 fps
