Alright first my specs: Manufacturer: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ (2 CPUs), ~3.1GHz Memory: 4GB RAM OCZ Sli Hard Drive: 713 GB Western Digital Greenpower(1 TB) Video Card: ATI Radeon HD 4850 Series Operating System: Windows Vistaâ„¢ Business (6.0, Build 6001) Service Pack 1 (6001.vistasp1_gdr.090302-1506) Motherboard: GA-MA78GM-US2H
Now with regards to other parts, I've swapped and tested the CPU(changed it to a Phenom 2 X3 710), mobo, GFX card, ram, am testing the HDD right now and everything seems to be fine. I'm wondering if my OCZ ModxStream 500w could be the culprit of the performance loss. I've reformatted with XP, Vista 32bit and Windows 7 64bit, updated drivers and every other obvious thing I should do.
The low FPS problems would be getting lower then 30fps when running Crysis and Farcry 2 low, Battlefield 2142 around 30-40 fps, Neverwinter Nights 2 under 30 fps on low, under 30fps for Fallout medium.....you get the picture.

I can't see any obvious hardware problems. that PSU should be enough. check using GPU-Z and CPU-Z that nothing is throttling. could be temperatures causing thermal throttling?
No, which is my real problem, really messed up issue. I remember having the same problem years ago with an AMD XP build, but I can't remember the solution if any.
