[Solved] 9800gt problem

recently i bought zotac 9800gt 1 gb card...!! my pc specs are:
intel dual core 2.8 ghz
3 gb ddr3 ram
1280*1024 resolution
coolermaster 500w psu
windows 7 32bit

i am unable to play fifa 11 as it lags a bit continuosly..!!
i am unable to play call of duty black ops as it lags a bit continuosly..!!

on the other hand assasin creed brotherhood is running perfectly on max setting..!!!

why is lagging happning???? any solution??? plzzz help...
thanks in advance..!

I recommend Using MSI AfterBurner to check if your GPU is being used at 100%... You'll lag at 100% or you can say low FPS at 100% GPU Usage... You shoulda be lagging as long as your GPU isn't at 100% usage.. my Bro's GT 9800 512MB can run BlackOps at Max/full settings without any problem... Awhile using MSI afterburner, check your temps, it could be at 80-90*C which well cause it to throttle down which makes your GPU stuck at lower speed until restart... If you want, OverClock your videocard to get high performance but there's a max so go up by 5-10MHz to test and see if stable when playing games and keep raising until there's spikes or like those random lines poping up...

If you have overclocked your card, get it running at stock speeds and check again if it lags or not. Also from the NVIDIA control panel, restore the original settings for the games you mention.

you should upgrade your cpu.From all your posts which you have made I can only conclude that your cpu is atrociously weak even for a 9800 GT.Buy at least a core 2 do and your problem should be solved

bt on youtube there are videos of games played with 9800gt and dual core wth even less then 2.8 ghz...!! when they cn play thn why cnt i???

It depends on resolution.The lower the resolution the the higher the cpu matters.Since you play at a lower rez your gpu is not being utilisedBTW can you please install EVGA Precision?After you install it post back here coz the last time when you had a 5770 evga precision wouldnt even run

ok.open the program.click on the spanner (the wrench icon) and go into monitoring tab.There below you will find a number of ticks besides core clock,fan etc.Make sure the gpu usage has a tick to the left.If it doesnt have it click on it and make sure its ticked.Minimize the application.Now run any game and start playing a new game.On the top left corner you will see a percentage constantly changing.See whether it reads 100 % and post back here

did you see the percentage in the game menu or during actual gameplay?

gameplay bro..!! actual gameplay..!! i tried with three games which are:

1- fifa 11- 15 -25%
2- assasins creed brotherhood- 45-70% (i am able to max out this game without any lagging)
2- cod blackops- 20-30%


wat to do now??

core 2 duo will be appropriate?? will overclocking my processor will solve out this????

it increased a bit....!! i m getting 20-32 fps..!!

Now I am an expert only on cards but I am 90% sure that upgrading the cpu should solve your problem.The pentium you have IS ATROCIOUSLY WEAK.However there is a 10% chance that your fps may not increase in which case you have to build yourself a new rig completely from scratch.BTW overclocking the pentium won't help because it is still too weak for your 9800 GT.Your card get only 20-30% usage in all games when it should be a constant 99%.That shows you how severely your card is being bottlenecked.Buy a core 2 duo and the problem should be solved.

more then 5 mhz..!! around 20 mhz

ya its a new one...!!

That won't help you in the least because its a very very weak cpu.The problem with your pc is that in every game you run the 9800 GT is processing in game frames per second so fast that your cpu is having trouble processing them BEFORE it sends the frames to your gpu.Therefore your gpu has to wait for the cpu to process the frame before sending it to the gpu.Because of this idle time your gpu usage is VERY VERY low.If you buy a high quality cpu your fps will increase about 3-4 times.I recommend a intel core 2 duo as a minimum upgrade but if you can afford it the intel core i5 is the best out there.
BTW also see the price of any amd phenom 2 X4 in your area.If its cheaper than the core 2 duo then go for it.

so what cpu you decided to get?
