Ok folks heres the thing, i have had a 6800 GT for about 3 or 4 months now and am not alltogether happy with its performance in some games. Let me begin by adding my spec:
* Asus 6800 GT (350mhz Core + 700mhz Memory - not clocked)
* AMD XP 2800 @ 2080ghz
* 1024mb PC 2700 Ram
* 350w Power Supply Unit
* 80gb Maxtor HD
I'm soon upgrading both my CPU and Mobo to AMD 64+ (socket 939) but until then i want to see if my Gfx card is giving me all that it can. I have been talking with people over games (Lineage 2, Everquest 2 and CSS) that say a 350W psu is not really enough to allow my graphics card to run to its max functionality. I was wondering if upgrading my PSU would be wise.
/advise me
As it stands i can run Counter Strike Source (Source engine) on Medium - High graphical settings with 50 - 70 fps until reall fights start to kick off, then it will drop to 30 - 50. Americas Army is alot less stable and runs on Medium settings at about 30 - 40 fps. My current drivers are the latest ones supported by nVidia so its not that (I have also tried numerous others to see what performance they yield)
So, what do you techies suggest?
