hi im really quite stuck .. ihave just bought myself a 8800gts which i thought it would be ace to improve my fps in css im a big css source player and play on via all the time. i know via is hard work at the best of times and all the rest.. but i have a 8800gts oc 320mb my cpu is a 3.4 HT and my mobo is a basic (waiting to upgrade) p5ld2 SE. irealise this is not great oh my psw is an antec 24v 500
but shoudl i really be getting 5-10fps?
on most games best of times i get 35.. benchmark i sometimes get 70-85 aver
but in css and other games i get anything from 10-30 and on css i get 10 fps most times
what could be wrong when i benchmark nvidias latest benchmark tool adriana i get 5-10fps
ive done clean install of vista .. is vista prob ive got 2GB of ram so this should not be it...... i dont know wat else .. a 8800gts should be fine and latest drivers...
why am i getting so much low fps in games .. it should not be this bad it does not seem to improve with everything tourned down either im sure sometihngs wrong
a bit more info
my gpu runs on steady 58-60c on normal mode and 68-75 sometimes 80 when it really hot ...ive also made sure there is no dust etc
my cpu runs at 55c generally i have alot of back ground activites so i think ithis is ok
my mobo is a p5ld2 se i have a vista home edition 32 bit build i really dont know wats rong.. i understnd that mobo needs upgrading but this still hould not produce these results. 20 fps in most and 30fps max
