Is this it?

Hey guys, just bought my ASUS 4850 but my performance is not what I expected. I've been playing Crysis a lot and this is what I bought it for. Here are my results after the GPU benchmark.

Settings are: Everything at high, resolution at 1280x960, no overclocking.

I got an average of:

22fps on first run

30fps on second run

31fps on third run

This is quite different from this guy: http://youtube.com/watch?v=w7Gw7UiUq78&feature=related

My rig is pretty good (IMO): 2GB of ram, E6400 Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHZ, HD4850, XP 32bit, but my performance is so much worse! I was thinking of re-formatting my drive because it's so old but I don't know if it will help. Any help?

First off, it may be your processer, crysis will spank a processer that is under 3.0 ghz.
2 gigs of ram, get 3 atleast. IMO itll make the load times better and it will make it run smoother.

But i am almost certain its your processer, as i said, the video card is being bottle necked and crysis will reduce that processer to nothing.

Its not the videocard mate.

Thanks guys. However, I do need a new desktop right away. I'd like to build, but I can't take the time to figure it out/do that. So basically I'm trying to find the best retail computer for the money. If anyone knows of any, it's appreciated.

NCIX, build a custom PC, trust me, they have good prices, i got my rig with a quad core and two 4850s for about 1,900.
DONT buy retail pcs, they never last as long, and they are not overclockable.

Hahahaha that cracked me up.
