Posting my mental notes before I forget here.

AMD rig using an nvidia 560ti. CPU upgraded from 4100fx to 8320fx.

4100fx

• Overclocked to 4ghz
  
  • Game FPS drops to single digits at times.
    
    • 60fps on countdown timer
      
    • <20fps while in combat
  • Somewhat playable on "low"
    
  • Loading game from RAMdisk sped up load times, but no FPS gain.
    
    • CPU seems to be bottlenecking the game?
• Stock settings
  
  • Increased load times.
    
  • Gameplay seemed more sluggish.
    
  • No notable change in FPS.
• Disable cores 3 & 4
  
  • Windows reports 1 core and 2 logical processors.
    
  • Gameplay didn't seem any different than stock (2 cores and 4 logical processors).

8320fx

• Stock settings
  
  • 
    MWO runs shockingly better.
    
    • 
      70 to 90fps on countdown timer
      
    • 
      Haven't seen it dip below 25fps in combat
      
    • 
      I may be able to lead my targets now.
      
    • 
      I could be playing but instead I'm posting this...

I'm just OC'ing my watercooled FX-4100 to 3.9GHz and don't experience the low FPS with that CPU that the OP has. I have 16GB RAM (F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL ) on an ASUS M5A97 mobo and use a single GTX560Ti Fermi superclocked (with an Arctic Cooling Twin Turbo cooler)

Do you have your windows OS set for performance, appearance or balanced?
