A few months ago I bought a Saphire Ati Radeon HD4850 (512mb).
Recently my friend told me i should be getting 60fps maxed out everything in most games (without AA) at 1024x768 resolution (i have a small monitor). I checked benchmarks websites to see how much fps some other people get in the games and it seems that my card is behind everyone elses even in 1024x768 resolution. On games such as Crysis (demo) , all details on very high no aa, I get 20-40fps. My friend who has a 9800gt can run Crysis with 30-50fps on Very high no aa on 1920x1080 resolution. Some games I barely can run even on everything the lowest including resolution such as GTA IV(lowest settings 800x600 resolution, 10-30fps). I am pretty sure its not backround programs since end most of it unless it is needed.
System Specs:
Amd Athlon 64x2 6000+ 3.0ghz oc'd to 3.4ghz
ATI Radeon HD4850 512mb
4gb ram dd2 1066
640gb 7200rpm
Highest resolution is 1024x768
windows xp sp2
Friends computer:
Amd Athlon 64x2 6000+ 3.0ghz
Geforce 9800gt 512mb
2gb ram ddr2 800
320gb 7200rpm
windows xp sp2
highest resolution is 1920x1080
why is it slow??? The temperatures are fine, 30C idle 55C on load. Is it my cpu dragging it back?? my motherboard??
If its my cpu, can you guys help me pick a motherboard at this website? im planning to upgrade my computer anyways.
