My PC (not happy)

[Sniper1432]

For some reason I feel that my PC is not performing up to the standards of most games. In Call of duty 4, I get an average of 20-30 FPS in some maps such as overgrown, downpour, bloc, and countdown. I'm just very confused why my frames are so low. I also get similar FPS in TF2 and Bioshock. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. But in contrast, it plays BF2, 2142, CSS just fine

Specs:
EVGA 590 SLI
3 gigs DDR2
amd athlon 64 X2 6400+
8800 GTS 320mb
X-Fi Xtreme Gamer

amd...

And the 320mb is kinda low on vid memory, imo.

I use a amd 5000+ X2 w/ a 8800GT 512mb, and am getting average 60-80fps.

Don't you be AMD hatin'. Well ok, maybe a little.

cant u get a better card?

Sniper, always make sure you're not running virus software when your playing. Also, CTRL/ALT/DEL and check what programs you're running, closing any unneccessarys.

Also, use the optimum options in games instead of assuming you can have everything on full.

It's not the card i don't think

I have the 8800gts 320mb and play at 1680x1024, all high, 2x AA at between 40-70 fps. I did have to overclock the card in order to use AA.

There are my clocks if you want to try and OC yourself:



I would just ensure you have correct drivers, your hard disks are working in the correct modes and get an Intel chip.

Don't be trippin on AMD!

<- With my specs, I run CoD4 on all high 4x AA 1152*864 with around 90 FPS. And that is with my AV still running in the background.

It's a little odd that you only get 20-30 FPS in TF2 lol

Try to defrag or, if you're really desperate, a system restore. Worked for me before :)

[Sniper1432]

Would it matter if I use the drivers from the CD that came with the card? I use the latest ones atm from Nvidia's website. Do you think I should use the ones from EVGA's site?

[=98=]

Same thing....

Use the latest off Nvidia's site, maybe sample some beta's

[Eagle101]

what about tweaked drivers can that help? uknow third party ones, stock nvidia drivers that have been tweaked i use them for my laptop.

[I am RKO]

I'd stick with the official drivers and just tone down your settings.

[AlexIsUber]

don't listen to these folks...320mb is more than enough for today, my card is worse and i get 60 + FPS on COD4 on all high @12xx x 10xx something lol.

what resolution you run your things. Your video card ownz, you wont get much better right now.

[Eagle101]

he can get the 88GT which is much better. Plus the GT sells at a good price.
