Performance mystery... Please help.
Specs are in my sig. The 3.0c is running at 3.3 (vcore at 1.6). The x800pro runs at 521/553 core/mem (overclocked). I've noticed this for ages, but I'm finally sick of the crap performance I get. Settings are mostly medium + 2 high (dynamics off) and 4xaa at 1280x1024. I start up a local server just to test it out. I top out at around 99fps and drop down to 30fps randomly. I also notice that movement is nowhere near as fluid as on several of my friends' systems, as well as slight, frequent stuttering.
The worst begins when I join a 64 player server (50 to 64 players present, including myself, on average). My frames dip to about 16 fps, but top out at 99. The stuttering I mentioned before becomes more frequent, and movement is nowhere near fluid, hell, it's not even smooth at times (even when I'm getting 40+ fps). The same happens when I turn AA completely off and run at all medium.
Virus scans and adware/spyware scans pick up nothing. I've reinstalled windows, reinstalled BF2 (thrice), closed all unnecessary background processes, defragged, I've tried running in hardware sound mode instead of X-Fi. Is there no solution to this?
