Hello all,
I have recently purchased a new system with:
1) CPU: Intel Quad Core Q9400
2) Graphics card: NVidia 250 GTS Graphics card by GainWard
3) RAM: 2GB (677 mhz only, inherited from my last system, will be replaced soon by 4GB 1033 mhz)
4) OS: Windows 7 64 bit
5) Power: OCZ StealthPower 600W
6) Mobo: GigaByte EP45-UD3LR
I'm not sure what the graphics performance SHOULD be, but I believe is should be better than what I'm getting.
Unreal tournament 3 gives me 40 fps tops, and when the screen is full of details and characters, the frame rate drops to 16, and even 6 (!) sometimes.
I checked UT3 recommended system requirements and it seems my system surpases them. I tried dropping the detail level and resolution, but it doesn't help.
I believed that it may be a driver issue, so I tried 195.62, 191.07, and 186.18, but to no avail.
I should point out that my problem is not UT3 specific, and I'm just giving this game as an example.
I installed 3DMark vantage, and found out that the average framerate in the GPU tests ("performance" setting) is 17-18, and that my GPU score is 6155.
Can anyone with a similar system (especially folks with 250 GTS & windows 7 64 bit) tell me of the performance he/she is getting, and wether my worries are justified?
Assuming they are, does anyone know of a solution ot what to check for next in order to pin point the source of the problem?
Thank you very much in advance,
Tal Lavi
