Ok i just bought a brand new pc and here are the specs
AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice Core
ATI Radeon x850XT at 580/600
3 Fans-GPU Arctic Cooling Solution, CPU fan+heatsink, case fan and stock PSU fan
400 Watt PSU
160 gig HD
1 gig ram
ASUS motherboard
Sound Blaster Audigy 4 Sound Card
Now I bought this whole setup from HP, and upgraded to the x850XT myself, with the idea in mind that i would be able to use this as a pretty good gaming setup.
My problem is that in most of my games i can run them great, including Battlefield 2, which i can run at 1208x1024 with max settings except dynamic shadows and light, which i put on medium. It runs great and im very happy with it. However when i put Call Of Duty 2 in and try running that at medium to high settings i get horrible framerates. I can run it with Direct X 7 at complete max settings and get over 200 frames if i dont limit it, but whenever i turn it on DX9 it gets all slow. Even if i turn dynamic lights, shadows, AA and AF off, and then turn the resolution down i still get less than 40 frames, and thats at 800x600. Also when i ran 3dmark06 i only got a score of 2857, and when i ran 3dmark05 i only got a rating of 6000. Now i have heard people with slower processors get a rating of 6000 on 3dmark06 with this card, and i'm pretty sure my system should be running faster. Any ideas on why this may be happening? Hardware, Software, Conigurations? Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
