All-
I just "upgraded" from a geForce GTX 550 Ti to a Radeon HD 7770 but am noticing worse performance in GoldenEye: Source (a HL2 mod). With the 550, I was getting over 100fps on most maps with graphics settings maxed (8x AA, 16x anisotropic, everything on high/very high) at 1920x1080 resolution, but with the 7770 I am getting about 40fps at the same settings.
This doesn't seem to make any sense to me... All performance charts have the 550 Ti well below the 7770 in new games, so I would assume an older title like HL2 would be even better for the 7770.
What gives?
Thanks all.
EDIT: Forgot system specs....
AMD Athlon II 3.0 GHz
Asus m4A785td-m motherboard
4GB DDR3 at 1600MHz
XFX Radeon HD 7770 (1Ghz core, 1150 memory clocks)
Windows 7 64-bit
Also, I've verified that everything is installed properly... Windows is happier, giving the 7770 a 7.5/7.5 experience rating...
