I recently built a new computer system for intense gaming. Here are the specs:
Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 1MB L2 Cache @ 2.0GHz
160GB Western Digital SATA 3.0Gb/s hard drive
ABIT KN9 SLI Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 Motherboard
2GB Patriot DDR2 (PC2 6400) SDRAM
Creative SB Audigy 4
MSI Geforce 7950GX2 1GB GDDR3 PCI-Express Video Card
Now, I expected to be able to crank Quake 4 up to Ultra settings with Anti-aliasing at 16x @ 1600x1200, but for some reason, it chokes up a bit even on High settings, AA 4x, 1280x1024. Even the old game Halo is a bit choppy. Aquamark gave me 30,000 points, and 3DMark 06 gave me 3,000. My old Radeon X800XT gave me a 70,000 in AquaMark. I'm also getting some Windows freezing issues, too.
What I did: I uninstalled the video drivers and tried the latest from MSI's website. Uninstalled them and tried the latest from NVIDIA's website. No avail.
It seems like only one of the GPU's in the card is running, and at half-mast, or something.
Any suggestions would be hot.
