My friend and I built pretty much the exact same computer. The only differences are that his motherboard is a p35 gigabyte and mine is a msi 650i and that i am running vista ultimate while he runs xp pro.
With this setup e6750, 8800gt, 2gb crucial ballistix 800mhz, msi 650i, thermaltake 500w, centurion 5 case i get unplayable fps in Call of Duty 4 with the same settings as my friend while he gets 100+fps stable with aa/af up and max settings. We even swapped video cards and nothing changed.
Is there any way to solve this problem? I've reinstalled graphics drivers too...other games run ok but i thought they would run better with the 8800gt like they do on his machine. I doubt its vista b/c theres no way vista cuts fps by over 75%...i get like 40 fps and it drops constatly...my card isnt overheating and neither is my cpu...
i hope thats enough information i really appreciate the help!!
