Hey everyone, this is my first post
My computer seems to have a problem with performance, but really shouldn't have any trouble.
System:
Windows XP SP2
Pentium 4 3.2 GHz w/ HT
Asus P5GD2 Deluxe mobo
Radeon X800XL 256mb PCI express
1 gig (512mb x 2) Crucial DDR2 memory Non-ECC Unbuffered
Antec ATX12V 400w power supply
Western Digital Raptor 10,000rpm 74gb SATA
Western Digital 7,200rpm 200gb SATA
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
Logitec MX Wireless kb/mouse combo
Liteon DVD/CD-RW drive combo
Liteon Dual Layer DVD+-RW/CD-RW combo
Recently reformatted entire system
Clean registry
All drivers updated
No spyware/viruses
Defragged hard drives
All video card setting are set to "Performance" options
All background programs are shut down (McAfee virus scan, Microsoft antispyware, etc)
Now, all that out of the way...I recently reinstalled Counter Strike: Source. Now, with a system like mine, I should be getting decent fps even on high settings. But no. On LOW setting, my average fps is between 20-30. ON LOW SETTING! This is my first system that I have built, but nothing at all went wrong during the building and installing processes. Also in 3dmarks05, my score is about 1/4 that of others with the same setup.
I know there probably isn't any obvious reason for the lack of performance, with the information I have given, but any tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
