I have a 4870x2. I paid a lot of cash for this and I am so far disappointed. For example, when running in GTA 4, I am getting frames under 20. With this graphics card I should be able to max out the graphic with no hiccups!
I'm also having a problem with updating the display driver. Whenever I try to, it will say something like "failed to load detection driver" or it will download and stay at version 8.6 (instead of the 9.4 I tried to download).
Could it have something to do with my sound card (a Creative Labs Audigy)? I also have problems updating that, because there is no drivers out there for it.
My CPU is an E8400(@ 3.6ghz) and in games like Prince of Persia, CoD 5(single player), GTA 4, and Dead Space it will run at 80%-100% throughout the game. I never had problems with this CPU on my old build.
My Spec:
OS: Vista 64bit(hate it)
CPU: E8400(@3.6ghz) btw, it shows 3.6ghz in BIOS, but not in windows. it says 3.0ghz (2 cores) ~ 3.0ghz in dxdiag
Motherboard: ASUS rampage formula (BIOS date 4/03/08 Ver: 08.00.12)
Memory: Mushkin 4gigs
Graphics Card: 4870x2
PSU: 1000w antec
Also*** I have that Fallout 3 problem( Fallout 3 has stopped working.)
