4870 9950BE Warcraft: Some light.

Forum Graphics & Displays : AMD Radeon 4870 9950BE Warcraft: Some light.

I'm running a new system with a 9950BE (OCd to 3ghz) a 4870, 4gb of memory. I'm unhappy with the 125 FPS in Warcraft, and here's why. When I first loaded everything up, I was getting 50 - 75 FPS, not bad, but slower than I expected with the 9950/4870 combo. I OCd to 2.8, and my FPS went up by 25, and another 200mghz bought me another 25 FPS. So, the CPU is the bottleneck. But why with such a new CPU is it bottlenecking that much? With the video card, I expected it to blow away my old puter which had SLId 6600s. Are we just waiting for new drivers to fix this, I don't see the processor over 30% when I'm playing, and I don't see the GPU that trussed either. I do see people with the 4850 though, outperforming the 4870s in WoW.

Just frustrated I guess. Puter performs well with everything else, I'm currently on Win XP X64 Professional, and Crysis runs fine with everything set pretty high. Stupid WoW.

it could be that to fully use the capabilities of the 4870 youd need somewheres in the realm of a 4ghz D/Q core cpu...
