I installed my HD 2900 XT about 3 weeks ago. I began to notice that it wasn't getting enough power in the first week, so I ordered a dedicated power supply to get it more power. After I got it all hooked up, I ran it, and the performance and framerate was still just horrible. I noticed it worst in partially Halo 2 Vista and very very badly in Lost Planet. In lost planet it was so bad that it even said that I needed to improve my system requirements in the middle of the game. Does anyone have any idea why this card isn't working for me, or did I install it incorrectly or something? I really want to get this working before crysis comes out. My specs are: Processor is an E6600 Dual Core processor, which I over clocked to 3.2 GHz and it was 2.4 before. My video card is the HD 2900 XT. I have 500gb of hard drive space. My PSU is 600watts, and my dedicated power supply for the graphics card is 450watts in case i want to do crossfire. Here is my mother board http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...8 2E16813121059.
