Hmm, do you have the 6 pin plugin in the GPU, I know that if you forget that step the card can be extremely slow and sluggish.

Well i figured it out. It was my memory. I had the sticks in 1 and 2 but for dual channel they had to be in 1 and 3. But i only get about 80-120 fps. Im not gettimg much more than my 9800pro. A few settings are higher but still shouldnt i be getting like 200 or more.

Not so far as what I know, as far as I know your card just renders it better not exactly faster.

you had the sticks in the wrong slots??? How did you find out that you had to position them in a certain way to enable dual channel?
