Hey all,
I recently upgraded a few parts in my computer and reformatted. My current specs are as follows:
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHZ (OC to 3.0GHZ and can push it further if needed)
Mobo - Asus P5w DH Deluxe
RAM - 4 GB (2 x 2GB) G.Skill DDR2 800 5-5-5-15
HDD - WD Raptor 120GB
GPU - HIS HD4870 1GB GDDR5 (770/1000 I believe)
PSU - OCZ 480w (Can't remember more about it. It was pretty nice when I bought it forever and a day ago)
OS - Microsoft Windows Vista 32 bit with all updates
I am running the newest drivers and catalyst control center for the video card. I reformatted about 2 weeks ago.
My performance hasn't really been very good. I would think this setup should rip through EQ2, but Instead I am only getting something like 30 FPS on High or Very High performance mode. In CS:S, I am getting anywhere from 70-130 FPS with the graphics turned down. I understand that you don't need more than that, but I figure this system should be capable of more than that. Also, if I run EQ2 in windowed mode, my FPS drops to around 20 or lower.
I ran 3dMark06 and my score was aroud 12k (can check when I get home) which isn't too bad. What could be holding my computer up like this? Is it possible that my PSU is slowing it? If so, is there a program that I can use to check to make sure everything is getting enough power?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I see all the reviews of people using this card stating that they are tearing up this and that game on max settings and I would love to join that party. Thanks.
P.S. - I run all of my games at 1680 x 1050.
