Hi, I recently upgraded my HP Pavilion Elite e9220y system below from an ATI Radeon HD 4350 (512mb) to a Gigabyte HD 5450 (1Gb) and the performance is no better on GTA IV or TF2. In fact in some cases it seems worse. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or what video card I need to see a real performance increase? I am running Windows 7 home.
