So I'm getting really low FPS on my games, and I know I should get better because I "recently" built a new PC with the almost exact same/better specs than my old one.
OLD PC:
Nvidia 8800GTX
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz
4Gb DDR2 PC2-8500 (Dragged down to 800mhz because one faulty stick needed to be replaced)
EVGA 680i SLI Mainboard
250GB HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
NEW PC:
Nvidia 260GTX
AMD Phenom x3 Tri-Core 2.3Ghz (Overclocked to 2.76Ghz)
4GB DDR2 PC2-8500 1066Mhz
AsRock 770DE+
320GB HDD
Windows XP x64 (Reformatted to Win7 x64 yesterday)
Now on my old rig I was getting 80-92 FPS on Black Ops running Windows 7. Ever since I put together this new PC my FPS on Black Ops was around 50-75 with a lot of random FPS drops(XP x64)
Still using my AMD PC after reformatting to Win7 x64 my FPS in Black Ops does not go above 45. I have been playing MW2 lately and my FPS is in the 50-60s and spikes up to 100-120 when I go inside of a building.
Can anyone out there give me a clue as too why this is happening? My specs are nearly the same, if not better, as my OLD PC so it would only make sense to be getting more FPS. I know the operating has something to do with it due to the fact that Win7 uses more resources to power Aero and all the other fancy sh*t. I'm hopefully getting an x6 1100T for Christmas so I'm not too worried about it...but seriously any help is much appreciated. I haven't looked into the processor cache differences between my Intel and AMD CPU's or the FSB speed on the motherboards, maybe my new mobo is shi*tier than my old one? Anyone my OLD mobo died and it's past warranty so I can RMA...
Thank you x1000,
