[QUOTE="ablafasaolin"]i have an i5 2500k so its def not being bottleneckedsuperclocked

Just out of curiosity, what scores do you have for your CPU and Graphics for the "Windows Experience Index"? Is CPU higher than the video? If not then you do have some (however slight) bottleneck happening, and you'd only see an increase once you overclock your CPU. That said, what resolution are you running? Screen resolution can also make a difference as lower res tends to put more stress on the CPU instead of the GPU..Stinger78

i have the gigabyte gtx 560 ti, and from what iv read on the internet, they can reach a stable overclock of about 1010 mhz on the core clock. iv tried using both gigabyte oc guru, and another gigabyte overclocking software. but even when i overclock it with these i see no perfomance increase at all, in fact i even did i 3d mark benchtest and my perfomance was equal to stock clock vs the overclock. now im just guessing that this software is just not even overclocking because i tuened to the core clock speed way past what would be stable just to see what would happen and nothing changed, i was able to do evverything as normal, is it just the software being crappy? what am i doing wrong?

love the game so far, first of all, for some reason when i plaay the game, the taskbar doesnt disappear and its there the whole time, how do i get rid of that? secondly i apear to have thin black bars on the left and right side, if someone could tell me how to fix those thatd be great

thx

I had a similar problem on my first start-up, scared teh hell out of me
for me it ended up being I was using the wrong PCI-E Power bus plug, there were a few options, the 4-, 6-. and 8-pin plug on a 8-prong socket. If that sounds familiar try different combinations, Mine ended up being just the 4 plugs.
you should also try it with just one stick of RAM in just your primary RAM slot, try each stick individually to see if you have a bad stick

if niether of those work, come back for more advice...
