Frames Per Second Question

I'm running a system with an ATI Radeon 5850 GPU, 8gigs of 1600 DDr3 RAM and an AMD Phenom II X4 965 CPU. I recently ran the Mafia II benchmark and came out with a 28-29fps rating with settings maxed out and I run most games at 25-30fps.

My question is: How in the hell would you get your fps up to 60?! I'm guessing Crossfire/SLI? But even that seems like a stretch.

Try a fresh windows install (win7) latest mobo, graphics card drivers and defrag the hard drive, overclock the cpu you could probably get it up to 4 ghz on air or even more (not sure about that), overclock the GPU and then run the benchmark that should be the highest performance you can get with that rig unless your GPU is not 100%. But you should do better then you described above.

It's Physx.. take it off.

What games give you bad performance? The 5850 should be enough to run anything on max at an average of 40-45

1.55v is far too high, max rated voltage is 1.4 or 1.425 depending on revision
