I currently purchased Crysis with my friend our systems are...
MINE:
MSI k9a2 Platinum Mobo
AMD Athlon x2 6000+ (oc'd to 6600)
4gb(2x2gb) Mushkin 5-5-5-18 DDR2 800 RAM
Visiontek 4870 (oc'd to 780/1080)
Vista Premium 64bit
500gb Hitachi Deskstar 7200rpm HDD
HIS:
Foxconn A7DA-S Mobo
Amd Phenom 9950BE (stock)
3gb(3x1gb) Patriot 5-5-5-15 DDR2 800 RAM
Evga 8800GT Superclocked Edition
Vista Premium
Seagate Barracude 320Gb 7200rpm HDD
Now obviously his processor betters mine, but my graphics and the additional 1gb of ram should run Crysis more smoothly Right?
well i thought so.. but he is able to run 1280x1024 at "very high" settings except shaders and Postprocessing are set at high and he gets 30-40fps.
I can only run 1280x1024 all High except shaders on Medium at 22ish-35fps average....
So im confused i thought upgrading from a 9600gt to a 4870 would give me mostly very high like my friends, becuase i was getting 25-30fps on medium and water on high with all the same except components and just exchanged my graphics card....
ALSO my 3dmark06 score is only 12,100 is this low for my setup, considering what i have overclocked? i thought i could get 13-14000...
im just a little disappointed and confused... any suggestions?
Catalyst Drivers are 8.9 all Vista updates installed
