My computer/graphics card dont perform as i should!

I do not know where the problem lies, but I can generally poor results with my system in the game. In 3DMARK 06f i get this:

Is not it a bit low compared with my system?

And in Vantage

also very low.

In Crysis ™, I get around 15-25 FPS, everything on Very High 1440 900, the same thing in Warhead, i run DX10. When I look towards areas with a lot of people my fps sinks even lower. In Company Of Heroes, my FPS goes down when I look around the map in 3Dmode. If I for example watching from one side to the other in Horizontal angle, the fps sinks to 5 FPS. I understand absolut nothing, what can be the problem with the computer? Has 8.9 drivers on my HD, everything is unclocked. For that I am told and what you see on my results, you can see what is the problem? Humbly ask for help from any computer experts out there!

If I do not find a solution, I send back video card . For what I see there is no other solution.

MVH

EDIT: Played Crysis ™ now, ran track Relics, which in the beginning when to enter the small orchard to turn off the jammer. So I look there, may be around 16 FPS when I look, then run in 1440 900, is testing to draw down to 800 600, and guess what, my fps is exactly the same! Ran on Very High no AA! Help! = /

The CoH numbers concern me far more than the Crysis ones...Could be a really bad PSU, bad driver install, or a bad card.

It kinda looks like your CPU limited, but 3.2 should be plenty...

Iffy PSU is possible. But unlikely. Your score is onpar where it should be.

Well you got a AMD which is the heart of the problem, and you are playing on settings on a game that is beyond your systems capability.

Try some high, medium mix. Your system can't run very high, sorry!

If you send the card back you loose your shipping you paid, and more shipping to send it back, and 15% restocking fee.

Well, with Crysis the problem is you're running it on Very High. Take a look at the charts here, Crysis is hard on even the top end video cards. Even if you were to crossfire your 4850 you're not going to get high fps. What settings are you using on COH?

I bet they OC their cards.

well i got an AMD 6000+ with a dual HD3850 256mb setup and i see 13,500 (14,000 if i overclock) on 3dmark06.

need less to say, your setup is better than mine so something is wrong....

Its also well known around the net that 3Dmark 06 doesn't perform well with the 48xx series cards.

Godmode, you are stupid.

Sorry man, I have similar specs to you right now, my processor is overclocked to 3.2Ghz and my vcard is the factory OCed Radeon 4850. Our 3DMark scores are exactly the same. This means consistent 30FPS Crysis performance on very high settings ain't going to be possible.

I though that the CPU didnt do much on high res?

does this prove that my card is damaged?



The same system exactly, and you see thta his CPU and mine are equal, though he clocked it a little bit!

well i had no idea the 48XX series was suffering from low 3dmarks scores. you could have just pointed that out to me and leave at that but instead you chose to be a jerk and call me stupid. i guess i should expect every forum to have ppl like you. i'm not going to stupp to your level.

to the OP...test it out the overclock. maybe 300mhz does make a difference.

also...roadrunner had a good point to check out your background processes. one of them might be hugging/spiking your CPU.

edit: i forgot to mention that the other guy might have clocked his graphics card too...3Dmark doesn't show that.

Its definetly some sort of software issue, he needs to check whats going on in the background, maybe use driver cleaner, and get a fresh install of the driver. Clean up the pc overall?

i OC my cpu to 3.4 and my GFX card to 790/1100, i got 12000 now! so ... thats bad! Are u guys sure that my gfx card aint damaged? Ive tried driver cleaner, and i even tried to reinstall windows, but no perfromance gain, so i think old drivers aint causing the problem! But it could be my AMD x2, but the kid with same cpu and same gfx card got 13200 i got 11700! And our cpu results are similar but in SM 2.0 it differs with 600 and in SM 3.0 its 1100! So, it have to be my gfx card! If i had the same as him and complained about performance i would know that it is the cpu, but in this case, it isnt!

If your card was bad you wouldn't even be 8000.

His CPU is still faster then yours and it depends on the bandwidth of each system. Different multipliers will change the bandwidth some.

Also it could be he is still more oc then you and maybe has tighter ram timings, giving him better performance.

Its obvious he can tune a system and you cant.

You can find rigs all day long just like yours with lower scores so what is your problem.

Go ahead and send back the card, enjoy paying return shipping and restocking fee, plus shipping for another new onw only to get the same result.

Do you mean very high, or high? I Play warhead in very high 1440 900 in 20-30 FPS DX10, is that okay? Could drop to 15 in heavy fire fights!???

And you're asking US to explain that difference? lol

Come on, be reasonable... We can't see your windows installation and what u're running. Those points are affected by a lot of things in windows, where the services and processes running in the back are the culprints of some performance issues.

Help us there, come on. Also, post your ram timings, bus config, HT config, vcore config and multi config. Those SS don't show what's *really* under the hood of those systems, but neither you're telling us that.

You might lack "old style" tweaking in your rig, wich in that case, a lot of folks here can help you squeeze a little more from your rig.

Esop!

Well, if you built up your rig, you should have the RAM timings some where written. Or, you can go to the BIOS and get all the info i said it's needed to tell you what to move/adjust: RAM timings, BUS config, HT config, VCore config and Multiplier config.

Those 1k points might be hidden somewhere in between the tweaking of the hardware and the tweaking of the software (windows), but by all means, that's not a sure thing.

Esop!

This is the Task Manager and how to access it:

Take the screenshot showing all your current processes running. Post it here and let's start from there. Getting to know your hardware is a little more complicated... You'll have to go to the OC sub-forum

Esop!

your cpu score does seem a bit low in 3dmark..

my 4870 scores well.. dont know the numbers off hand but yours look ok just the cpu score seems a little low, i havn't had an amd in a few years so i cant compare really.

Are you using the Over drive feature in the 4870 or just the default clocks.. try using the fan fix and knock it up to 790mhz and 1000mhz see if you get any boost.. if you machine is installed correctly, and drivers are all recent and updated the only thing i can see is proc.. my e8500 scores change Alot when overclocked from 3.16 up to 4ghz if your stuck at 3.2 then you might not be able to squeeze anything more out of it. try OC the Cpu if possible. (and you know what your doing)

*edit* sorry i just saw you mention the clock speeds you ran your card at... the card that your comparing your againes (a friend?) can you borrow it for an hour and test with that in your system?... have you editted something about pci voltages or anything wierd in your bios and forgot to undo them.. have you loaded bios defaults)

Tip: worked for me Run it in DX9 mode and change everything to Enthusiast.
