8800 GTX poor Performance

[staffsMike]

thats about right so its probably what kieran said..just a system bottle neck or your settings are a little mullered!

[Deathcore]

what operating system have you got? i hear the 8800 drivers for vista suck.

Using XP at the moment, i dont beleive im getting such low fps..

[moogle]

weird, check your cpu temps. my 4200 x2 was overheating giving me crappy framerates.

[Deathcore]

Everythings in working order, no overheating.. ahhh BFG ****ed me over saying the 8800 GTX would run great on my current rig .

[grayg1]

this sounds like a driver conflict
did you uninstall your old drivers from your old graphics card properly?

[Deathcore]

Just madea fresh instal of windows, gunna downlaod the latest driver and see if that works..

[tigerboyce]

good luck soldier

Poor performance in gmaes liek Counter Strike Source, getting liek 50 fps..... any help on optomizing?.


BFG 8800GTX
Corsair 20 w PSU
AMD 64 x2 4600
ASUS A8R MVP MOBO
1 Gig RAM
17" LCD max rez 1280x1024

The card is seriously bottlenecked by the rest of the system.
The system is still decent enough but a long way off making the most of the card.

Sorry

why do you have no idea why he bought the 8800? Unneccessarily critical I feel...for one that's not a particularly bad spec and two he might be upgrading the rest of it later.

Pretty sure thats perfectly critical playing at that res on cs:s a 7900 gtx would be overkill let alone an 8800 gtx hell a 6800 gt would be absouloutley fine at that res

as said in other threads an 8800 gtx is only worth the cash if you playing on a 24inch monitor up and using the highest res.
But even then a gts would probably still be ok, and with a game like cs:s a gts would play css at max very well on a 30 inch screen i would have thought too.

Also I acheived 193 fps last year on same res with an opteron based sytem with a 7800 gtx

[Blitzen]

I use a GTS on a 19" monitor and just did a test in the HL2/CS:S benchmark in game

Score: 221.6fps average (everything maxed out)

I think thats enough for even the most ardent gamer so why go higher?

[grayg1]

It isn't seriously bottlenecked by the cpu, just remember graphics card > cpu for games

A x2 4600 is hardly a slouch at all, just because your getting 100fps but could be having 150fps means nothing to me.

He could do with more RAM though

Said 'system' not CPU.
The way the Mobo CPU Memory and GPU are interacting is slowing this rig down dramatically.

Like you said, particularly with on 1 gb installed.

[arbitor]

the thing is css isnt a ram heavy game, as i said above i got on a 17 inch 193 fps with 1 gig ram an opteron 144 and a 7800 gtx (overclocked it all but sill)

as said above anything over 100 fps isnt to the human eye noticeable i dont think, but 220 fps is MORE than enough for css so i mean thats why i made the comment on the gfx card a first.


anyway how did it go mate with a reinstall?

[Deathcore]

still crappy performance after clean install of windows... gayness!

[arbitor]

mate how old is the card?
