The 5.4 is my hard drive.
My 5770 is getting a 7.4 But I'll run 3D mark here in a moment. |

as you say the shroud is probably to focus a bit of air on other parts like the VRM

I'm liking this card so far. I also realized I don't have any up to date benchmarking programs. *sigh* But I'm going to play some AC2 here in a bit and see how that goes. |

Only got to test it with Combat Arms so far. (I got like 100+ FPS on max settings, lol.) I'm going to try AC2 here in a bit. Should be pretty fun to play now that I won't lag at all.

I tried playing AC2. Something was wrong. I was lagging way harder than when I was using my 9500GT. I'm going to check my drivers again...

I swear each time Someone has a NV card Previously Installed they have a ass pain trying to install a Non Nvidia video card, I suspect NV drivers are like rootkits now. Ensure if you have WCG or Folding at Home they are turned off as they are CPU driven programs mainly. Reinstall AC2. Check out the AC2 forums aswell, Free Games like that are a Hit and miss sometimes.
Ok Grab Driver Sweeper and Driver Cleaner Pro Grab Latest Motherboard driver Grab Latest Direct X Redist Unplug Internet cord Use The Default Driver Removal Technique from NV drivers do not restart delete the NV directory/folders delete any NV related registry entries restart machine Follow Directions of DCP and DS run Driver Cleaner Pro and then Driver Sweeper after DCP and DS are ran and directions followed Install Motherboard driver (if PCI Express has anything like a GART) Install Graphics Drivers Install Latest Direct X Redist

I had uninstalled Nvidia control panel and such using windows install/uninstall manager, but it left some stuff behind. Driver Sweeper and Driver Cleaner Pro took care of the rest. Oh and I zapped all Nvidia folders just in case.
MW2 and other games work great. For some reason AC2 is still laggy. One second my frame rate is 40+, the next it's 5, then back to 40+. No idea why. MW2 wasn't doing that, and I had it at higher settings. |

id say go to their forums for an answer to that. Tell them that all your other games run fine but this one is a PITA

another thing to try is perhaps overclock the CPU to 2.8GHz if possible.

Second of all, it ran perfectly fine before. (28-35 FPS with my 9500GT) Why should I overclock my CPU when I don't need to? (I can't afford to replace a CPU at the moment...) |

Sorry for your loss perhaps you should try to reinstall the game, sometimes games get configured for a certain card and need a reinit. Also that CPU is possible to OC to 2.8, its not much of a bump compared to 3.2GHz.

![]() i honestly think, you should try it at least. you can even increase the lifetime of your proc also, with undervolting at the same time

In my experience, it's pretty damn hard to fry a modern CPU with a small overclock, unless you're retarded and bump the voltage to something way beyond what an average cooler can handle.
In the event that you do fry it, then that just means you get to upgrade

You see, after just shelling out $150 for a 5770, I don't have money for an upgrade. So I'd just be out a computer.
Once I land a job thou... Then I'll start tweaking with overclocking my CPU and GPU. |
