hello,
I recently purchased, (to my delight and my farthers woe) a new Powercolor X850XT AGP, i was very pleased with my purchase, untill i installed it. i found that in bf2, i have to set everything on low to get a decent frame rate, (on medium or high i get about 10-20 fps) even on low i get lagging. i also did the hl2 video stress test and achieved 58.07 average
fps. which my old (over clocked addmitadly) 9600 could do. i have installed various drivers, from the ones that came on the cd, to the one's i downloaded off the site, to ATI standard ones, to the Omega Drivers, yet still it doesn't seem to change anything. have i bought a dud, or was just disillusioned in what i thought this card would do?
my specs are:
All i really want to know is, is this what i should expect?
