A week ago, A computer store near my place launched, And they offering Asus EAH6670 for about 36$ , I thought that was a good offer so I save up my money to buy it, When I got it fully installed, I tried to Max out some games at 1280x1024 since my monitor only support that, And the result is unimpressive. ,

-Saint row 3 at high only give about 19 fps @ 1280x1024
- Cosmic League at high give about 35 fps at lobby , and 40-49 fps in match , which is playable ,but this is only at 1280x1024.
I'm planning to have crysis 3 for benchin'
And some other game show x1.75 improvement at high setting.


Maybe because other component pulling the card back?
CPU : Intel Pentium Dual core E6500K OC from 2.9-3.76 on stock cooler
RAM : 2x 1gb ddr2 1-667m 1- 800m
HDD : 1 80gb-seagate ; 1 160gb-samsung (both are almost full)
Sound Card: Creative sound blaster Live Ct4870 ( since the onboard realtek is died T_T)
OS : Windows 7 Pro 32bit

I'm planning to get Crysis 3 for the benchmark

It's an upgrade, but it's an upgrade to another low-end GPU. There aren't any simple upgrades that will wring much out of this machine - that CPU is now an entry-level CPU going on 7 years old, after all. I wouldn't recommend bothering with the Crysis 3 benchmark as it's not likely to give you much useful information.
