Ok. So im building a comp and i have a X1900XT but my other parts aint arrived yet. So i bring it over to my friends house who has a Sempron 3100+ 1 GB ram and 6600
He has like a 350 watt PSU.

So i bring my Hiper 580WATT Type-R, Stick a paper clip into Earth connector and into a Black connector so i can stick my PSU into the X1900XT.

I load up comp and it works! Install new drivers etc.

So we load up CS: Source and we Max everything:

1280x1024
HDR FULL
Everything full AA and anisotrophic etc.

We got like 40 fps.
Using fraps and console monitor.

So we do the same on BF2:

We get like 30-40.

then DOD: Source with HDR and everything. 60+


Does the Sempron Limit the X1900XT?
 
first of all even my old radeon 9550 se could run CS source on max with 50 fps. second yeah Im pretty sure that would be called bottlenecking....

Eh first of all, no. You didn't tell us what resolution, whether or not AA or AF was turned on.

My 6600GT gets about 40-50fps @ 1280x1024, no AA, 2x AF, all settings on high.
 
I bet his 9550 could do it full AA and AF max settings on 1024x768 if my 5600ultra could. Those cards are about on par w/ each other. Now the X1900XT well, theres something wrong there.

I'm calling that a lie. I had a 9800PRO that couldn't run cs source at full settings at more then 30 fps.
