I have an AMD 975 BE and a sapphire 6870, but all games i play i have fps problems with. I used to be able to play most games completly fine, then i formatted my pc. Now i cant play anythiing even on low. I have checked all the drivers i know about. If anyone could help me find the problem i would be very grateful

Have you installed the AMD drivers for the GPU?

Is the monitor connected to the GPU and not the motherboard?

It looks lke the only place can connect the screen to IS the GPU, so that cant be the problem

Go into catalyst control center and tell me what driver you are running on.

AMD also provides an auto detect and install of the latest, correct driver for your OS(see link). It really does sound like a driver issue.

It said i had the latest driver, but are there any other drivers that i need to download?

You downloaded the catalyst control suite correct? not just the driver? And it has been correctly installed?

Did you install the AMD catalyst control suite without issue?

I have installed all those AMD drivers and updated them all and nothing seems to improve.

AMD Catalyst Control Suite is a utility whereby you can make adjustments. If you right-click the desktop, there should be an option to Open the Suite program otherwise go to Display settings > Advanced tab and the utility should be in one of the tabs.

What games do you play? Do they meet the PC requirements of your PC?

I play League of Legends, Team fortress 2, and some MMO's. My system should be WAY better than it performs.

Both those games are still, really, Windows XP games prefrably rather than anything else. Team Fortress 2 is not even Windows 7 compatible, assumedly, so if you are using Windows 7 the game would be rather slow and not fast. You might try a lower resolution as it would nmost likely prefer 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.

League of Legends is a good game but better played on Visrta than Windows 7. It's still a basic Windows XP game. again, compatibility mode would most likely give better results as well as a lower resolution, perhaps 1440 x 900 would suit it better.

Consider updating your .Net framework or even try installing a previous version, 3.5 (leave whatever .Net you have installed, though).
