Just built a new system and am experiencing very poor performance in SC2. The system is definitely good enough to run everything on Ultra, but it can't even run the game on high/medium settings. I first suspected the CPU, but I'm now thinking the problem may lie with the video card. I have listed the system specs below. I am running a 1055T, not OCed yet. Even not being OCed, this system should not be having the issues it is having.
AMD 1055T X6 CPU
ASUS M4289GTD Pro/USB3
Corsair 650 watt PSU
ATI Radeon HD 5830 256-bit
WD VelociRaptor 10K RPM HDD
G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
Windows 7 Pro x64
All drivers are installed and up-to-date. I even went as far as reinstalling the OS and reinstalling all drivers, but still am getting the exact same results. What could be going on here? My Core 2 Quad 65nm system running an HD 4850, 4gb ddr2 ram, and same HDD ran SC2 with ALL settings set to Ultra, and it ran it with ease, completely smooth. This system struggles just being set on high/medium settings, i mean reallyy struggles. Just really framey and choppy, both multiplayer and single player modes. I let Catalyst Control Center auto-tune the card and i am running 865 GPU clock, 1190 mem clock, and the temp. is not exceeding 55C when in game. What could be going on here? Faulty GPU?
