I have recently purchased a HIS Excalibur Radeon 9800 PRO IceQ 128 mb DDR graphics card. I am woried about its performance. In GLXS it only scored around 2,000 when my friends g4 MX440 on a slightly better computer, scored over 4,000. I only get an average of 60 fps, going as low as 30 fps, on MOHAA This is on medium settings eg. no AA, no V-Sync and no AF in resolution of 1024*768. Even in CS 1.6 it went down to 30 fps. What is going on here, i mean its a 9800 PRO, shouldnt I be getting much better performance? Iv'e tried different drivers(new and old), changing the settings on the card(AA+AF and quality settings),changing the aperture size, and AGP fast write. I know my PC isnt exactly brand new and "top of the range" but i was expecting something better. I've seen many reviews of the card, and all are good, so can anyone make a suggestion? Any help would be greatly apreciated, thanks.
