I just got my 3850 put in, everything went smooth, took my 3D mark 05 from 5970 to 10250.
I also have 2Gbs of Memory, a AMD X2 3800+ @2.2GHz.
But after playing some games like TF2, Half Life 2, CS:S, I noticed the frame rates have not increased, if anything slightly lowered. While my 7600gt did get 60fps, I was at least expecting a noticeable jump in frame rates. Although I could turn up the prettys in Crysis from Low to Medium and maintain 25+ fps.
Anybody have ideas why I did not have a noticeable performance jump?
My drivers are the 7.12.
EDIT: I tried the overdrive option and it put my GPU at 759 and my Memory at 1104. My Idle temp is 45 and and hour of Crysis is 55. ATI Tool just hangs up and stops responding before it loads. Ideas?
