I have the latest drivers for my video card..I got rid of everything to do with ATI..dont think so when it comes to my mainboard...no idea how to update it:shadedshu

hmm..I played HL2 lost coast..with everything on high and AF set to 4X and no AA...I got 70.31FPS...with RES at 1024x768
I then put the res up to 1280x1024 and all the same settings..I got 71.68FPS..1fps better lol...but it looks better anyway.

theres so much talk going on at the moment..iam not sure whats wrong..or what I should do...people saying its my CPU...and others saying that the CPU has no effect over it...I do beleave its the CPU...in my old comp I have an intel pentium 3 667Mhz and an BFG GeForce 5700OC 256mb AGP...and I can tell you..I had the Radeon 9200 128mb before that..and going from that to 5700 made little difference in FPS..very little..Its def the CPU!!!!! it has to be:D


If anyone knows where to find drivers for my Mobo..id love you for it..is there any for AMD CPUs??

I read this thread with interest,and I want to say that you need a decent cpu for the mentioned games regardless of the videocard.
If one thinks his graphic card will run games better without thinking of the cpu ,this person is misstaken.This doesn't mean the cpu is bottlenecking anything.It's plain lacking,nothing more,nothing less.
Running amd64 chip at 2.4 or 2.5 Ghz will give around 52 fps outside in oblivion at ultra settings (that's without altering the sliders individually).I had this with x850pro,and have this with x1900xt.The difference between both cards is looks.The x1900xt shows a much nicer looking game without loosing performance.
It's still the case that you need certain cpu power to run certain games.

It should be clear however that a powerfull graphics card is better served with a powerfull cpu etc.

I had the same issue, the cpu causes a bottleneck.

I had the same issue when I had a Pentium 4 - 660 - 3.6 ghz

I changed to a core 2 duo and got 80fps extra - go on you know what to do.

Can't really expect any type of performance with a P4. 80FPS gain is GROSSLY exaggerated though.

Well, depending to what a piece-of-crap CPU the p4 is and what a catch-up the c2d means, I'm not surprised...

sorry, I forgot you sat next to me when I did the bench................:confused:

prior to changing the processor, I was getting 149fps with everything maxed out.

I then changed the processor and motherboard to 965 and an e6600, I'm now getting 270.01fps with the res. set @ 1200 x 1000.

I have change the fps max though to see that score though.

the processor was causing a major bottleneck.

hang on, let me check if you are behind me before I post..................

Roflmao @ Judas3

270 fps what? I'm getting 500 fps in Quake3 maxed out with no overclock.

...and that's because 500 fps is the maximum refresh rate the engine could handle... lol

I have the latest drivers for my video card..I got rid of everything to do with ATI..dont think so when it comes to my mainboard...no idea how to update it:shadedshu

hmm..I played HL2 lost coast..with everything on high and AF set to 4X and no AA...I got 70.31FPS...with RES at 1024x768
I then put the res up to 1280x1024 and all the same settings..I got 71.68FPS..1fps better lol...but it looks better anyway.

theres so much talk going on at the moment..iam not sure whats wrong..or what I should do...people saying its my CPU...and others saying that the CPU has no effect over it...I do beleave its the CPU...in my old comp I have an intel pentium 3 667Mhz and an BFG GeForce 5700OC 256mb AGP...and I can tell you..I had the Radeon 9200 128mb before that..and going from that to 5700 made little difference in FPS..very little..Its def the CPU!!!!! it has to be:D


If anyone knows where to find drivers for my Mobo..id love you for it..is there any for AMD CPUs??


your frames didn't change because the cput is the bottleneck.
a video bottleneck would have cuased a drop.
only using even higher res will solve you prob with your current system

half-life is fast on any card, try a new game like
Ghost recon:advanced warrior
Age of empires 3
rainbow six:vegas
they slow x1900s at 1280x1024

if you are intent on buying new stuff.
you would still have overclock only 3.5ghz Core 2 duo doesn't bottlneck at all.

and you should look for benchmarks with that card and compare the system specs to see what to buy.
