Hi, so first off, the problem I am facing is that I have a powerful computer, but many games run slow - meaning not even close to 60 fps when maxed out, high, and sometimes even on low settings. This can be seen with GRID, NFS Shift, Skyrim.
SPECS:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 @ 2.34 Ghz
AMD Radeon HD 6850 Graphics Card
Corsair 650 Watt PSU
4 GB Ballistix RAM
Gigabyte Motherboard
Windows 8
Now, as you can see, my computer is quite powerful. I should easily be able to run many games on decent settings with great fps. However, that is not the case. One thing to note, however, is that if I ever run Memtest86, I find that my RAM is bad. I've tested both sticks, and both sticks show up as bad. Is it possible that because of bad RAM, or perhaps bad Mobo. slots, that my games are not running fast enough?
