Hello everyone.
Right now with my 8800gt, I feel like im getting much worse frames then I should be in the couple of games I play on a regular basis.
My pc is
Athlon 5000x2, 8800gt, 430 watt psu, 2 gigs of ram (not high quality)
This computer was a premade, and I added the card and changed out the psu myself
Right now in World of warcraft, my frames in a raid are around 15-25 depending where I am at, and people with the same card, or similar (9600gt) are getting 40-60 in the same spots, and they only have a slightly better cpu then I do.
Also, in Team fortress two, I am playing with high quality, and a little bit of AA, and it still really dips low from time to time, and it does not seem like there was much, if any improvement from my 8600gt that I had before this.
I updated my drivers again today, and it is still not good.
The only problem otherwise I have had with the card is that I have to manually set the fan speed on high because it runs so hot in my case ( hardly fits inside of it), but is it also a card that seems to run hot regardless since my friend has the same card in a full tower, and it still runs just as hot. Just to give you an idea, it idles at 60c and goes to 75c if the fan is not forced on, and runs cooler when it is on.
Any ideas what the problem could be with this? I would really like to get this card to work, because at this point, it is hardly working any better then the card that it replaced.
