OK guys. I am about to go to bed but will check back in the morning and I am hoping y'all can help me out.
I am playing Doom3 and BattleFront II. Not that it REALLY matters cause I can play just fine, but Doom3 holds steady at 60FPS and BFII holds at 80FPS. I do NOT have v-sync on but have all settings to the highest (not ultra for doom) with 8x AA and 4xAnisotropic at 1600x1200. The FPS goes down some during heavy battle but will NEVER go above the aforementioned FPS.
What is the deal?
I am using a CRT monitor set to 85hz(max).
I have an e6600@3.294Ghz (9x366) currently using Zalman 7700cu cooler
P5B deluxe wifi edition (bios 0711)
OCZ performance series (not available anymore) DDR2 667 (4x512) at 4-4-4-7 timings.
eVGA 7800GT overclocked to about 500/1140 with Accelero cooler (runs about 60-65C under load) not sure exactly what drivers but they were the latest about 1 month ago
Antec true power 2.0 (i think that's it) 550W PSU
Antec p180 case
2x 74Gb raptors in raid 0 (boot)
X-Fi extreme music
DVD DL burner
250Gb seagate 7200.9 (sata) and WD1600 (ide) for storage
I thinks that is all the hardware.
computer is stable using 2 instances of prime95 torture test max heat/power consumption (in place ftt's) for 2hours with temps reaching about 70C cpu and 43C mobo.
when playing games or anything else the temps reach about 55C cpu and 38C mobo.
computer completes super pi 1M in a little over 15 sec and I get like ~8400 in 3dmark05 and about 4700 in 3dmark06
Pretty sure that my problem is not a hardware issue but more like some stupid little obscure software setting or something.
So... anybody run across anything like this before or have any ideas? I am pretty sure I should get more FPS, especially considering it holds steady at the above framerates for really long periods of time but doesn't ever go above by even 1FPS EVER.
Hope somebody has some thoughts that can help me.
maybe someone with similar specs could post their FPS for these games for a comparison?
Anyways, thanks for reading and any replies are greatly appreciated.
