Hi, I have a BFG Geforce 6800GT that I bought about 2 months ago and for some reason I'm not getting the FPS I think I should be getting in a game like Counter Strike: Source and Doom 3. In counter strike if I turn the graphics down to bare minimum I get on average 20 fps. This is the same thing I got with my old GeforceFX 5200 when I did the same thing. The problem gets weirder is when I max out the games graphics to full which is passed the recommended specs the game suggest, I get an average 35FPS in same situations and up to 110 when im not doing anything. But in some good firefights I go back to 20 even so far as 9 FPS. In Doom 3 I once again can pretty much max the game out and it works smoothly, but I get hiccups consistently every 15 secs for some reason that goes away when i move closer to recommended, but still runs smooth mostly except for the 15 secs of hiccups. My main problem is I think I should get better FPS than this in Counter Strike as other people Ive mentioned it to ingame regulary see 50+ with this card and all the benchmarks I see for the game suggest I should get better than this even though the game is ATI optomized. Ive checked the BIOS to make sure it was set to 256MB card, I have a designated power cable for it with a 430 Watt max power pack and all my drivers are up to date for it. Any answers to why my card is seeming to be underperforming in both the games or mostly Counter Strike?
