OK so thats my build. I installed everything correctly, been running now for about a month. No problems at all no errors ect.


I am new to buildings rigs as this is my first time, its all stock no OC no nothing.

Reason I am posting is because today I decided to put my rig up against my brothers to see how fps would compare, and I was shocked to find my rig only gained like 5 fps over his.


Test on SC2, full settings same resolution 1280x 900 or something same tutorial everything same. i hit 46 FPS he hit like 40.
BUT his rig is like 2 years old. Only 9800 gt vid card 4 gigs ram but lower end stuff, and a duo core 2.8. so how is it possible for him to hit same fps i do?

is my system not performing as it should? other tests? i can do to see if i am running good numbers? slightly concerned now..
