Ok so I built my computer and thought I had a decent rig. Specs are
nvidia 9800 with 1 gig ddr3 running at pci-e 2.0
amd phenom x2 black edition 3.10 ghz
2 gig of 800mhz ddr2 ram
ok so I run Crysis at 1680x1050 and i run it on enthusiast and TO ME it seemed like it was running well. no lag "that i could see". Made it thru 2 stages fine! Then i saw i was in directx9 mode (I run windows 7) So i run the game in directx 10 mode and start at gamer and its fine once again from what I could see no lag or nothing. So I go up to enthusiast and once again TO ME its running well. But when I turn on fraps it shows im running at 14fps. If I was running at that low fps wouldnt I see a major lag? When I shoot its fine, in trucks fine, explosions...fine! So can someone explain to me why its running at low fps but no lag? A friend said dont worry about fps just enjoy the game but if I built this rig I want it to be able to push the game the way its suppose to be ran. am I just over reacting?
