Ok, I just turned the fan speed up on my whole system and turned the fan on the gpu to 50%. The temp is now 50c idle so I tried out bf2142 agian, and it still slows down to below 30 fps, I'm so frustrated with this thing!
Yeah I've got the latest drivers, no artifacting or crashing, it might just be overheating, I'm not sure how to monitor temp levels though, I checked once with ati tool and it said like 78 c just at the desktop.
.....well on my system atleast. I see no difference from my old 7900gs, my specs arent bad either, C2D 6600. 2 gigs of ram. Like all the games I play get as low as 22 fps without anything really going on. The only game I see any difference in is crysis, otherwise, it was just a waste of money.
When is the 8800GTS supposed to be coming around, and what's the average price supposed to be? The 8800gt was supposed to be 250 but its like up into the 300's now.
I'm going to be ordering a new video card pretty soon and I just want to know which would be the better performer? I'd be playing at 1400 X 900 res, with newer games like BF2142, Crysis, Oblivion, fear, Gears of War, etc.
