I just bought a Powercooler X800GTO and installed it into my computer for the sole purpose of getting good fps on Day of Defeat: Source.

Previous to this graphics card i had a Nvidia PCX5900 and got roughly 20-40fps. I heard from a friend and multiple reviews that the X800GTO could handle source games on medium settings and easily pull off 60-100fps. I installed the new card and at first I got only 20fps. I did some tweaking and got it to run at 50fps with all the lowest settings but then after playing for a bit it dropped to 20fps.

I have a Intel Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading.
1 Gig of Ram
200 gig harddrive
Asus Motherboard

I'd like to be able to play the game at least with a stable 65 FPS. Any suggestions?
 
Did you uninstall the driver and all software for the old card before fitting the new one????
 
I just cleaned out all the dust in the machine and reapplied thermal paste to the heatsink and my fps still sucks. Any ideas?
 
Hmm, well an X800GTO totally destroys a 5900 by so much that it isn't even funny..

So, the only things I can figure are:
1) You're using extreme high-end configuration, such as FULL HDR and AA in DoD:S. A 5900 could barely muster 4 fps, whereas 40fps sounds about right with HDR + AA on a GTO @1024x768 or higher. Make sure you're not trying to combine HDR + AA at the same time as that will really tax your videocard.

2) You're severely system bound, be it memory or CPU. Close all running tasks that you can prior and run some benchmarks on your CPU. I'd recommend SiSoft Sandra, which you can google/download free and run it's CPU Arithmetic tests and Memory bandwidth tests. From there, we can determine if your system needs BIOS or other help.
 
Alright so my Log came be found here https://www.techspot.com/vb/showthread.php?p=356400#post356400

I have my settings on as low as they go for the games. I've changed the setting from high to low and used different FPS configs for the game all with similar fps results. Low FPS results.

Thanks for all those who have shared their insight/tips I really appreciate it.

Here are my memory results...

""Hi, I have been using Enlarge Patch Rxfor one month. I could not believe my eyes after about a week of using the product because my flaccid length only grew a tremendous amount. I started slow since I did not know much about the exercises but once I retained some experience I began to introduce myself to the more advanced ones and that is when my penis started growing.
I can not thank Enlarge Patch Rx enough.

An entire inch in both length and girth in a matter of a month! If you want to have gains and keep them forever you have to try Enlarge Patch Rx, believe me you will not regret it!"

"I suppose my story won't be somewhat unusual to you. I'm a young man of 25 and I was completely frustrated about my small penis. I was so shy to show it to any of the girl I had “relationship” with that I basically had no sexual life at all. Enlarge Patch Rx patches did incredible thing to me. I was using them for 4 months and my penis is much more thicker and about 2.5 inches longer now. All my doubts are gone. I really appreciate what you're guys doing. Thanx for saving my life! "
