Hey guys!



To fix the low fps, I installed the game again. This fixed the problem. Im also using older drivers. Im also using no additional fans...

I had never tried all at once.

Unfortunatly, the aquamark score wasnt any higher...but im thinking thats because the driver setting was set to quality, not higher perfoamance.

All the best guys.

*edit* I should also note I picked up 4 K (in aqua mark not 3dmark LOL) under a freash install of 84.1 drivers IN a new format of win xp. do you think it is worth it if i go use the other install of xp, keeping in mind i have a bit to do (its sp1).

Thanks again, you guys have been more responsive then the Nvidia forums..which is a ****n laugh eh?

thanks for the replies guys,

I think I have found the problem. The Graphics card's additional power has got 2 males on it, one of them is plugged in, the other feeding fans and hard drives. So, it seems, it might not be getting enough power.

However, i think ill tell you what my psu has to run, so you can get a good idea if its enough power or not.

Motherboard, Cpu.

1 dvd drive
1 cd drive
1 sata 80gig (sata power connector)
2 ide (20gig and 12gig (boot))
2 80mm Led fans
1 Pci slot blower (exaust fan)
1 smaller fan for exaust.


I have more fans, but they are connected to the motherboard power.

Is 500 watt too small for this application?

thanks for your replies.

The card Crashed, yes..thats right, crashed when running EVERYTHING off, im talking 640xwhatever 16bit bs. I didnt even break 100fps. (78 max)

that is NO gpu load..seriously, my mx4000 got better then that.

I dont know..i really dont.

I previously Owned a x1600pro, it gave me 119 fps, now i get this "better" card and it cant keep up for crap. Honestly, its ****, I can see textures load in frount of me.

Even if I Disable the sound card, will Fps change the amount of graphics rendered at one time?

I cant find ANY in depth reviews of this card, so i dont know its bandwhith and stuff.

My friends all have 3000+, 3200+, even an 2500+ eats mine.

I have ran driver cleaner pro, and reinstalled drivers.

Older drivers give me less performance (aquamark im sitting on 54k).

I have NO idea what to do...i am monitoring temps, it stays around 42 which is normal.

No instructions came with the stupid thing, the power connecter has 2 male molex connectors, so im not sure if they are both ment to be plugged in or not..if someone can help me that would be great.

Thanks guys.

Alright, I own the XpertVision 6800gs (512) meg and im having some lower then expected framerates.

Im averaging 45 fps with 1024x768 32 with everything else on. Other people, I know, who have cards with LOWER clock speeds (9800, 6600, 6800gt) are all getting massive amounts of fps higher then mine (90, 120).

I recently had a low frame rate problem with Farcry, but fixed it with the patch. Any patches/things i can do to fix my problem?

Amd Athlon 3000+, 1 gig ram, 500watt psu. New drivers/old drivers tried.

Thanks for the help.
