8350 running like s*** help!

[Matriox]

Alright to start off I have the fx-8350 at original clocked speed.. An R9 290x 8gb 1866Mhz RAM and I had this build for a while now and I just started to notice some odd things like FRAPS.. When I record with it I struggle to hold 14 fps AND THATS ON MINECRAFT!!! I don't record much but I still have other problems like geek bench scoring me at 9,000 vs other 8350's at 11,000..Also geek bench says I have 4 cores and 8 threads( I'm guessing that's core parking). I watch various of other people record with fraps on the same or even worse build and end up getting 60+Fps. So I wanna know what I need to do to fix this. Thanks

And also please don't give me the lecture about Intel vs amd ugh I'm getting a 4930k in a couple months so I don't wanna here it

Did you install the proper R9 290x drivers? I had issues with my computer until I did that.

the problem is that your recording with fraps im guessing your recording to the same drive a your OS is on and that is most likely why also unpark your cores and overclock it i did it and would never go back

You won't need an i7 unless you are doing alot of video/photo editing/rendering, an i5 is great for gaming and such, but will be a little bit slower than an i7 when it comes to heavy multitasking and rendering.

What.. Its not the CPUs fault and you know it probably something with drivers

Is fraps writing on the same HDD as your game? Fraps is very demanding on your HDD.

When I go to resource monitor it doesn't show anything parked and I went in the registry files and unpacked there too

Yes it is

download the tool to unpark them it takes like a second to do

Yeah I have and also on dayz I run at 17fps on avg without recording and everything closed out.. Any ideas?

thats dayz for ya its a alpha try and run a benchmark like heaven also what's your temps like on your CPU and GPU

[ForsakenLive]

Reconfigure your Fraps settings, you are probably going for a extreme quality or a very high bitrate. Also check if you have proper drivers.

 

and btw, 4930k on a couple months? Get a 5930K

[FizzyFantom]

Have you installed the correct AMD drivers as @Gr8White_Bear suggested?

You should reseat your CPU, RAM and graphics card and see if that resolves the issues (you would be surprised how much stuff I've fixed with this). You could also test the CPU with Prime95 to see if it is having any errors and test your RAM with Memtest86.

I don't believe that Fraps crushes your FPS if you have a poor HDD, it simply creates a malformed file (or manages with low framerate). Changing your Fraps settings may be a good idea, but I doubt that it is to blame for your FPS issues.

My gpu tops around 78 and CPU about 68

according to some other forums the 8350 starts to throttle at about 65 on the core so that may be why what's your cooler also like the other guys said for recording its you hard drive thats the problem

I still have the lousy stock cooler

oh thats probably why also in your pc part picker list it says you have a 

Thermalright 

TS-120M

[SkilledRebuilds]

4 cores and 8 threads sounds fishy as all my stats say 8c 8t.

I do but I had to take out because of heat sink bending

Go to run command and type msinfo32 then what does it say? For processor?

[Sintezza]

core parking is only a issue on windows 7

And you dont need any tools to disable it, you can do this in the registry.

 

But if that is causing your bad performance, is someting im kinda doubt about.

i think its a driver problem.

 

What mobo do you use?

I do have windows 7 and I did use registry to disable

yeah i dont think that coreparking was your issue.

i think maybe a driver issue.

4 cores 8 threads is normal showing

What driver though? I reinstalled my gpu driver 3 times.. Is there another driver to uninstall?

use the above program

 

install only the amd driver 14.4

 

 

it might be your VRMs are overheating
