Hi, I recently upgraded from a x1950pro to a 8800gts oc 512. I'm playing World of Warcraft and my FPS in raids goes as low as 10 here and there... I play with everything maxed out so i tried reducing the multisampling and it upped my FPS by 1 or 2...
I've asked around and it seems that everyone i ask that has a card in the 8800s has over 80FPS with everything maxed out. What is wrong?
Playing at 1650x1050 on a LCD display with VSync and tripple buffering so i was expecting 60FPS and maybe 30 in deep action.
I updated the graphic drivers last week when i bought the card.
Got Windows XP SP2

I uninstalled the ATI drivers before installling NVidia's.
The card is a BFG.
As much as I understand it, Vsync is supposed to make your H frequency a fraction of V's, so it should be 60 or 30 or 20 etc... So unless there is another problem the FPS shouldn't be around 10. At least I think.
Hmm I also have Unreal 3, does anyone know how to show the FPS in it? tried Ctrl+R like in WoW but it ain't working. Then i would know if it's only WoW or something else.

by "clean out" i don't mean just uninstalling the ATI drivers. try using a program like DriverCleaner and have it remove the actual driver files, and reg entries for the previous card. many times, when switching gpu brands, this will solve the problem.

well i used CCleaner, no idea if it's enough. I read a bit on DriverCleaner and a couple users said it simply trashed every driver they had for the said "class"
like trashing the mobo's driver with the video card's driver since they were both Asus
If you tell me a way to make sure this doesn't happen i'll do it right away.
I tried disabling V-Sync. I'm standing there with almost nothing moving and i'm at 45 FPS. So there must be something else.
Have you found the problem to this?
Mobo - MSI K9A2 Platinum
Graphics - eVga nVidia Geforce 8800 GTS 512mb
RAM - 2gb DDR-800 Mushkin
Processor - AMD Quad Core 9500 2.20ghz
Windows XP Pro SP3
Power Supply - 600W Enermax
That is my setup and I am getting basically the same FPS as you are in WoW. 10fps in raids. All my settings are basically on low. Vsync is off
Even though I was running on just a single 7800 gt, my framerate skyrocketed and I was getting upper 50s in raids. When I switched to an 8800 GT, it didn't seem to help anything at all. Shattrath was still crappy, raids were good, everything else was great. I couldn't tell you exactly what the culprit is, but it very well could be something else entirely. Might even be something easily overlooked like hard drive thrashing.
