Video card issue...I think. Please help!

Hey

Hopefully I posted this in the right section. I've searched for similar topics, but I can only find bits and pieces of information. Nothing really close to my situation.

I'm having issues with my GeForce 7800GS. When trying to play a game like Half-Life 2, I get very low FPS. Approximately 15fps. My video settings are all set to the lowest settings in game, and I disabled Vertical Sync, Anistotropic Filtering on the card. I have the latest drivers also. Still, I get very low fps. Practically unplayable.

I'm not the most technical person so I decided to use CPU-Z to get all my system specs. Below are screenshots of each tab in CPU-Z. Any helps would be greatly appreciated.

Might have to copy/paste the link into browser to see images.

What's the resolution you're playing the game at? Interesting, a GeForce 7800GS on an AGP slot. =)

Maybe upgrading will solve the problem... get a good AGP card from AMD/ATI perhaps...

Half life 2 is a fairly demanding game it may be time for an upgrade.

did you always get such low frame rate or did it just happen one day?
