Help

Got me a Radeon 5870 and for some reasons I dont know why but running RE5 fixed benchmark on this system

500watt
Abit ip-35 pro
q6600 @ 3.15Ghz
kingston 800mhz 1:1

with game configs

1920x1080
everything highest
with AA8X

I got only 53.3fps

with AA4X

55.9fps

Anybody assumes to know where the problem might be ?

when running the benchmark it shows CPU original clock speed rather than OC value. i think it only reporting what cpu you have and not your actual cpu status running at certain speed. did you turn on the v-sync option? if yes that might what limiting your frame rate. but i also heard some people with ati card have lower FPS when playing RE 5 but i'm not sure why though

did you play in dx10 mode? if so try dx9 mode and see what happen

don't worry though. there is no difference between dx9 and dx10 in RE5. if i'm not mistaken the dx10 only needed for nvidia 3d vision

is that your max FPS or average?

then the other ugly truth is I paid about $600 if converted

Wow that is depressing (lol) a 4870 scores the same as me. Drivers that I have currently installed are the latest from Ati with date 10/13/2009 ,BTW during installation got an error something like "ati catalyst install manager install package failure" ,strangely just ignored the message and the installation was complete also looking at the "view log" shows everything was a "success"
