Hello out there you guys!
I upgraded my graphic card a few days ago, from a X1900XTX card to a 9800GX2.
System specs:
AMD 4800+ 64 X2 processor, socket 939
ASUS A8R-MVP, with 4x1GB Samsung DDR-400 memmory modules.
CLUB3D 9800GX2
160GB Seagate SATA drive
Antec True Power 1000W
Dell 30" 3007WFP LCD panel
I usually play Call of Duty 2 & 4, and Oblivion in 1280x800 resolution, but with very limited added effects, if none at all to reach max. FPS.
After I installed this card, I continued with the current settings on the games to see in reality what more I got out of the new card. I must admit I'm pretty dissapointed at the moment. It seems like my old X1900XTX card ran better then the new 9800GX2 card with the exact same effect and resolution settings.
The new 9800GX2 card seems to struggle a lot, when I'm in close combat with others, when there's many players on the same server, and in open spaces. I've thought of upgrading to a newer processor, board, and memmory, because I suspect that bottlenecks are accuring in my current system now, could this be a fact?
It strikes me ass odd, that with the old card, even though I had "crappy" settings set on the effect side, it seemed to perform very well.
