Hi everyone, I just upgraded from an evga gtx 260 216 core to an asus 5870 v2 card and my overclocked core 2 duo isn't happy about it.
Before purchasing this card I made sure to read up on it, almost every forum post confirmed that an e8400 (especially mine, overclocked to 3.6ghz) would not bottleneck this card, but my performance in GTA4 is atrocious and the CPU usage rises to 90-100%. (idles at ~15-20)
I've completely removed all the nvidia drivers and updated the ati drivers to 8.703.0.0, but my games still stutter worse than michael jay fox. Performance in bad company 2 has degraded from my gtx 260 as well....
Any ideas? Thanks!
