Hello all, I was looking for help here about a week ago as to picking a gpu and I decided to go for a 4850 after some feedback from you guys. My main concern was for it to run WoW and future proof me for Diablo 3 when it is out. So about 6 days ago I pop in my card and all is fine until i compared fps with 2 friends who have LOW end cards, and in clustered areas they see more fps than i do. How can this be? One friend runs a 7300 another a 3870. I tested settings to be exactly like theirs also.
I was pretty disapointed about this and I am now considering trading the card in for a 9800gtx+.. I haven't had much luck with ati cards in the past.
But before I do so I would like to reach out for help one more time, maybe somebody here knows the issue.
So... i Run a Visiontek 4850 with the latest catalyst drivers on:
win vista 32b premium sp1
500gb seagate
3gigs ram
ocz 650w
9500 quad core phenom
Ps the only difference was that they both ran xp over vista.. I still doubt my fps is lower than theirs because of an os.
