X1900XTX 512 - FPS Problem...Help?

Im having extreme trouble with my FPS in Day of Defeat: Source. My max FPS I've seen using "net_graph 3" is 60 (this is playing on a 800*600 resolution). Here is my setup, see if you can spot the problem.

Computer Brand: Alienware
CPU: AMD 3800+
RAM: 1GB Corsair RAM
Hard Drive: 74GB 10,000 RPM Western Digital Raptor HD
Monitor: 19' Samsung SyncMaster 955DF CRT (1280*1024 resolution @ 100hertz)
Video Card: X1900XTX 512
Power Supply: 480 WATT Alienware Power Supply
Drivers: 6.8 Catalyst Drivers

How can I be getting 60 FPS with the specs I have? Is this normal? Does anyone else has a similar setup that is having the same problem? Any tips, or help suggestions, anything will be of help.

Thanks in advanced,

Dynasty

well check for viruses and actaully try to put the resolution at 1024x768 and also when you are playing are you using
HDR and so on?
if so well 60fps isnt bad...

AHHH!!!! THE FANBOY INVASION HAS STARTED!!!!

On another note, like the previous replies said, vsync and hdr are performance killers. Also, you might wanna see about upgrading to 2GB RAM.

How do I check if I have Vertical Sync on, and what it HDR?

My guess is you've got Vertical sync enabled.

I play valve games, and i run well in HL2 source and day of defeat. Forsure you have to turn off vertical sync, its in your video card setting. right click on desktop - properties - settings - advanced. It should be under performace and quality settings.



I have a 3.15 pentium D duo core, 2GB DDR2 OCZ6800, nvidia 7900GS
I also have a samsung syncmaster 955DF, how did u get your refresh rate so high?

Might be your cpu.... 3800 are fast, but it could be a bottleneck there ...

there is not way the CPU is a bottleneck
