OK before we start ill go through my setup
-Pentium 805d 2.66ghz @3.6ghz
-Gigabyte GA-965p-DS3
-2gb DC G.Skill pc2-5400 cas4 667mhz ram (2x1GB)
-Connect3d ati radeon x1900 xt 512mb gddr3 @1440x900
-Creative soundblaster X-Fi xtreame music
-Hiper type r 580w atx2.2 psu
-sata2 maxtor diamondmax plus 17 160gb hdd.
The problem is, i am not experiencing very good graphic performance, on any game, BF2 and Now 2142 are the games i play the most now, but i can only get an average of 40 fps, and other games, not noticing the fps are actualy not as smooth as i was expecting, i have a good graphics card (or at least i thought i did) and i was sure that bf2 should have no problems with full video settings, Well its only 40fps.
I did think that my processing power was the problem at 2.66ghz(stock) so i began overclocking it, im happy with 3.6, 3.7 was good but i had 1 or 2 issues, but the overclocking has only marginaly increased fps to about 5.
Ive also lowered the resolution to 800x600 in bf2 and still, 40fps.
Ive paid good money for this system (£1200) and i dont see why it should be performing so sluggishly.
Any ideas as to what the problem is.
