Hi, i recently purchased a brand new HIS ATi Radeon 4850 ICEq4 Turbo. I installed it fine, disabled my onboard graphics (hd3200) from the BIOS. The performance is OK, but it isn't NEAR what it is suppose to be. My friend has a regular HIS 4850 and can get 250-300 FPS on F.E.A.R. Me, on the other hand can get near 40-60 and can drop down to 30. On highest, that is. We both have the same prosesser, and RAM. My motherboard is a Gigabyte one, with onboard ATi 3200. I'm sorry that i cant give much info at the moment, i'm not at my house right now. My only question is why is the preformance so much worse than my friends? the only thing i can gather is my Harddrive. i have a very old 80GB around 5400RPM, could that really effect about 6x less preformance than if i had a very good one? its a IDe one, once again i can't give much info because im not home.. We both have the same OS, XP Pro SP2. I have disabled my onboard graphics!!! I also downloaded the latest HIS drivers for the card.
Can someone give me some insight to why i get so much worse performance than him? and no, it isn't just F.E.A.R. He gets atleast 5x better performance on games like Crysis, Farcry 2, Mirrors Edge, ect.
All help is appreciated, thanks
