Ok heres the story, i used to have an old ati 1650 card, very slow and what not gettng like 15 fps in oblivion on medium. Today i took the plunge and recived my new ati 4830:Dyay. However i went on oblivion and im geting the complete same fps, well on high 9fps :S, this cant be normal surley. I thought this Card was fairly fast and be a massive upgrade i was told? I also tried it in other games like dead space and was getting around 30 fps on highest settings, which seems ok, but i dont know.

So what is going on here? Please help
 
Im going to use driver sweeper get rid of them all, then install 9.5 catalsyt and see what happens, if that fails, i dont know what to do.
 
yea it is definetly, but these past few weeks it has been very sluggish ive been trying to solve the problem but, the cpu is still quite slow even though its now clocked at 2.7ghz. Do you think reducing the clock speed may take stress off and theoretically make it run faster?

Right i wiped all drives off, restarted, installed the card again, then installed 9.5, re-installed oblivion and im still getting the same FPS..
 
Im starting to think its the PSU, after all it is an Antec power supply 500w only costing £15 :S. What would be the best way of testing if its faulty?
