Getting bad FPS with 285 GTX

Hello, recently I bought a 285 GTX from Newegg.com. I play a lot of graphic intense games such as World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Counter-Strike Source, etc. After installing this card I booted up WoW and was getting about 30 FPS, Guild Wars was around 50-70 FPS and CSS about 40-80 FPS. This made me kind of angry because my old card (9800 GT) was getting around the same. My drivers are all up to date, my computer stays about 25 Degrees Celsius in game and video card stays pretty cool.

Here are my specs:
AMD 9800 Phenom Black edition 2.2GHZ
EVGA 285 GTX 1G
MSI Motherboard K9N SLI V2
Seagate 7200RPM 260G Hardrive
Silverstone 600W power supply
8G Dual Channel OCZ RAM

If you know of any problems that be causing my video card to be getting bad framerate, please post a comment. Thanks.

Sounds like a classic case of a CPU bottleneck. See if you can OC that CPU a little bit and you'll likely see a good jump in FPS. If not I'd recommend upgrading your CPU to something a bit faster.

I get about 250-300 FPS average (low of like 150 if there are a lot of people) depending on the number of players with my setup on CS:S btw. 1680x1050 resolution max settings including max AA.

if i remember correctly, the phenom 9850 BE is clocked at 2.5ghz.. whats it doing at 2.3???

and agreed with raidur, definately a CPU bottleneck.

if it is 2.2ghz i think its 9500 not 9800 and yes 9850 is 2.5ghz stock. And yes ur cpu is bottlenecking gtx285 hands down.

Sorry made a mistake, I actually have a 9600 2.39GHZ, its clocked about 2.4GHZ right now

in game and video card stays pretty cool.

uhm no modern graphics card stays cool

Are you sure it can support Phenom II... I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

How much am I going to have to spend for one of these?

well the new 720 is $120 an the 945 is $170 anywhere between those prices the top line is 955 at $190 an the 965 a bit more his board does support phenom 2 look on my link his board 4th from the bottom

yeag the 720 would work fine its a great inbetween performance chip

oh sorry then it was my misunderstanding thanks

but i heard phenom II doesnt run in AM2 boards. i m not very much expert in AMD processor so i mayb wrong. but be sure about it

If the chipset is AM2 how do you expect it to work with AM3 chipset....

Would this work... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103471

Damnit

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103696 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103650 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103706 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819103649 or lower then those

dont think thats me

in my 2nd post i told him to go atleast 2.6ghz overclock. but seems like he dont know how to do that. maybe u guys can link up a post of an overclocking tutorial so he can get the most out of his cpu.
