Hello everyone and thank you for seeing the forum, some time ago i change my whole PC for a new one, with factory-new parts, the problem is that the PC is not giving me the performance It should give because the PC is not bad when i purchase the PC i think that i be able to play games like Crysis and COD4, but in these games I get very bad FPS (20-25 and 30-35COD) and I can not find the reason .. i had the lastest drivers, good temps (35-40 C)...

PC Specs:
AMD Phenom 9600 @ 2.4GHz
2GB DDR2 Cruciall Ballistix Tracer 800MHz
ATI HD3870 512MB (I had an XFX 8800GS but i sell it)
Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP 780G Chipset Mobo
160GB IDE Maxtor HDD
SoundBlaster Audigy SE
17" Samsung Widescreem


Waiting rescue! :P

You seem to have good FPS for the video card that you have. If you had a HD 4870 with those FPS, then you could complain.

^+1 What is the resolution of that 17" and at what settings do you use??
The crysis is one game, that cannot be satisfied by any current hardware...
So you should not compare or validate your PC's performance based on that game...

Well there is one way you can improve that performance...
Add 2 GB more RAM...that could help increase the FPS...

Well obvious suggestion would be to replace the graphics card but...again expenses...
and the CPU that you have is not for gaming at all...

The 3870 is slower than a 8800GT, so you actually downgraded your video.
I'd suggest upgrading your video card to something more current, however then again, any graphics upgrade would be bottlenecked by your slow processor.
You should have done more research before buying a computer because the one you bought is no good for gaming.

Your video card is slow.
Your processor is very slow.
You dont have enough ram for newer games.
