Hi everyone
I recently upgrated my gpu from an nvidia 9500GS to an Msi GTS 450 Cyclone,but i'm a little disappointed by the performance,in some games actually..some demanding games are running great like i was expecting (Bad Company 2 max settings 35 fps avg,Crysis 2 on very high 45 fps avg,Dead Space 2 80 fps avg..) eving Metro 2033 performance is decent,the resolution i use is 1680*1050. My unigine Heaven benchmark and 3DMARK Gpu score are also ok like in all the reviews i saw on the net..
But some other games are running horribly with an fps drop very annoying, Darksiders is running at 28 fps avg and it drops to 18 when i have a long distance view ,AC Brotherhood in some crowded places is about 20 fps and others at 40 avg and GTA IV is the worst one,very laggy.. i don't know if i'm cpu limited or the motherboard is crap or not enough power from the psu? i did a clean instal,deleted old drivers with driver sweeper and installed new drivers from nvidia web site.Now i'm using the new Beta drivers and still no improvements.
I know it's a mainstream card and not really powerful,but it's supposed to have much better results.And what's bothering me is that it perform better in more demanding games
here are my specs :
Core 2 Quad Q9300 @2.5
Packard bell mobo
4 Gb DDR2
Gts 450 Cyclone
Corsair Cx400w psu
Win 7 64bits
Any help will be appreciated
