Hey guys, bear with me here, it's my first post, blah blah blah, and I'm not too technologically sound, but I'm not totally clumsy fingered at computers either.
The problem I'm having is that whenever I play games, I always get a lower FPS than what OTHER people get, and it's always lower than the STANDARD. Often, I find other people with less powerful cards getting much higher framerates than me, even though we're both at the same graphical settings! Obviously, I'm not very happy about this, and I've decided to come to this forum for some help! (Sorry if this is off-topic, I thought it was the most relevant forum to post this into)
My system specs are:-
Processor: Athlon 64 3200+ (Newcastle Core)
Motherboard: VIA K8T Neo
RAM: 1GB of OCZ RAM
HD: Western Digital 120GB 7200RPM HD
Graphics card: Original ATi X800 Pro, 256MB RAM, 4.9 Catalyst Drivers (Did a full clean install with Driver Cleaner)
PSU: Read from sticker of PSU; Enermax, AC INPUT - 115V/230V, 50-60 Hz, 10A/6A
Monitor Refresh Rate: 80Hz
In my opinion, my computer is practically top of the line, so I shouldn't be experience any problems with games such as CS: S, Far Cry, Doom 3, etc. At the moment, my most concerned game is CS: Source, where when there's 20 people on screen I get 30-40 fps at best, and that's when there isn't action going on. My settings in CSS is:-
Resolution: 1024 x 768
Aspect Radio: Normal (4:3)
Everything on high except for Water Reflection, which is set at Reflect World.
AA + AF: 2x
Vertical Sync: Enabled
According to my friends, he has a 9800 XT, and he's getting 90-100FPS with the same settings. If you need any more information, I'll be more than happy to help!
Thanks for your time,
Rusty
