hi,

Just put together a new build of

RAM-1333htz 8GB
Mother Board- 88Og-ud3h
CPU-AMD Anthlon IIX4 640 3.00GHz
Graphics- ATI RADEON HD 6870

however i am recieving some low fps in some newer (and older like crysis) games what is the problem ? what should i up grade to get better fps?
 
Does the FPS increase when you lower the graphics settings?

Your Crysis performance look something like this chart?
crysis_1920_1200.gif

And you like the FPS result on the last line of the chart better?

Your GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H 880G motherboards 2nd PCI-e x16 slot runs @ x4.
Not ideal for a CrossfireX setup but 2x 6870 will work.

What do you have for a power supply?

550w power supply and yes the bottom line looks alot better, im getting about 25-30 fps , so a second graphics card would work? or a faster mother board? is my cpu fine?
 
I think a 2nd video card gets you a lot closer to that type of performance.
But the testing that did that chart used an Core i7-920 overclocked @ 3.8Ghz.

The 550W PSU is a problem since it doesn't have enough power for a 2nd video card.
