Hey everybody. first time posting on here!
Anyways, my problem is this: My games are lagging. I don't know why, and I've tried everything my small amount of technical experience can help me with.
I just recently switched out my several-years-old HD 4850 512 MB card for the shiny new, apparently proven HD 7970 from Sapphire. I'd previously tried the GTX 670, but it had been buggy and made my computer boot-loop, so I got my new Radeon card.
What's been happening is wI'm getting the same performance as I was getting from my old HD 4850! I tried Sacred 2 on it, and it lags the same amount as it does now with the 7970. Not to mention other games, like Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim. Though, surprisingly, Crysis 2 works fine, tho there are still a few, barely noticeable visual snags here and there.
Is there a problem with the drivers? I just uninstalled the ones I had and updated to the 12.6 that released a week ago, but nothing changed.
I have a 3.00 gigahertz Intel Core2 Quad, 8 GB of DDR3 RAM, a Cooler Master 750 Watt GX power supply.
Could anyone give me some tips? I'd be very grateful
