low physics score, cpu problem??

[Fritzphone]

for some reason i got 1873 physics score and 7052 graphics score, is it the cpu problem?
i saw that it used only 1 core of my cpu, so how do i make it use more?

I see nothing wrong with the score. Your system and your processor just is that slow. Not sure what you expected from over nine yeard old CPU?

some people i saw had the same cpu and got 3000-ish score

Highest physics scores I can find are around 2700 points so I guess you are right in that the score is somewhat lower than what to expect. However, those highest results are overclocked. There also seems to be a lot of variance between CPU scores from this model of CPU. Scores similar to yours are the most common.

3DMark 11 physics test uses all available cores automatically so only way it would only use one of them is if you somehow have Windows set to use only one core.

oh ok thanks, sorry i had a core 2 quad q6600 so i thought it would have a similar performance
again, Thanks!

But still, can you link me to some posts, about how to get more fps on games like american army : proving grounds or borderlands 2

Sorry, almost ten year old PC is going to struggle with those. I can't really come up with anything that would not start with "purchase new parts".

can you suggest cheap Mother+cpu combo for less than 100 $ ?
im guessing something like a core 2 quad q6600 , its a good cpu as all i know

Get one of these and pair it with a cheap Gigabyte mobo - https://www.quietpc.com/skylake-pentium?countryid=gb&gclid=CJefnNuz09ECFawp0wod_vsMjw

A Q6600 is ancient and would get obliterated even by the slowest i3.

thank you fore the suggestion, but you could get a q6600 and a cheap overclockable mobo just for 50-70 $ and could overclock it to be even faster than a skylake pentium

skylake mobos are pretty expensive even if you buy something like a pentium

the cheapest one i found on ebay is 40$
