SITUATION: so i just built my dream system essentially: i5 750, hd 5870, 4gb super talent 1333mhz ram, 1tb caviar black and 1000w coolermaster.
PROBLEM: i am playing arma2 settings maxed and only get about 26fps max after gameplay is underway. i figure that even though my proc is at stock speeds it is only being utilized by about 50-75% and im certain my gpu can handle these settings at 40fps+. funny thing is i wanted to see if i would get an fps increase by lowering video seetings, same fps at low settings.
i am running 1680x1050 (plan to get a 28 inch soon =) )
i didnt reinstall my OS, which is windows xp 32bit, i know what your thinking, i probably am a noob but i dont think that would have a whole lot of affect on my fps in games. plan to get windows 7 asap.
my hard drive needs to be defragged............probably too much.
thanks for your time in advance.
