I just got an X800GTO AGP graphics card and it actually decreased my performance in games. What is causing my system to run slower in games than my old MX 420??
Could it be that the newer shader model on the x800 GTO is slowing down my pc's performance a bit?
I
with my GTO I am getting on average 55fps with the detail turned all the way up and on 10x7. Also during a heavy firefight and/or a detailed area the fps drops way lower than the average 55 fps but it will go up around 120 just looking at the water or ground. turning the res and detail down doesn't change anything.
Again, I checked out ATi's support and found that a problem with low framerates on Ati cards has been noticed and they are working on the problem.
