    Low fps after reinstall.

    I reinstalled Windows over the weekend due to a harddrive finding more and more bad sectors everyday so a format was the only solution. I reinstall BF2 and Sf without a hitch and thought I'd see how my system ran with a fresh install, so I grabbed FRAPS to check my framerate.


    With both SF and BF2 though I wasn't able to get a fps over 35. It sometimes dropped to 20 but normally stuck around 30-35.

    Visually I don't see that much of a difference since before the install. I don't get the feeling that the game looks slower but I was a little surprised by a fps of just 30.

    The funny thing also is that I don't seem to get any increase in fps when I drop everything to LOW settings. I have no problem playing the game but was hoping that someone could say either that it was normal that it's like that or if I was forgetting something somewhere :)

    Actually I think I'll try it again today without FRAPS but let BF2 read the fps instead to see if it makes a difference...oh and probably running the latest drivers. I'll get a dxdiag report later.

      Ok...I tried without FRAPS and got the same result, fps about 25-35.

      I'm running the latest drivers 81.98 and will try installing older ones tonight.


      My 3DMark05 score is 3180 which IMHO seems a little low for my PC.
