4890 Underperforming?

[Overslop]

Hey guys,

I think I may have a performance issue. I seem to be getting lower FPS than I should be, though I'm not certain.

Here's my results from the Crysis Benchmark:

I ran Vantage and get about 10,000 on Performance settings.

Specifications are in sig, except only a single 4890 atm.

Here's another test, this time with all the benchmark settings turned up to full:

Even on awful settings, it barely blows it away:

AA and DX10 is really a no go unless you are running something like a X2, 280GTX, SLI, Xfire etc Crysis is still a dog to play, you're getting 90FPS average on that last test, that's good.

Thanks for the tips. I did get a good FPS on the last test, but it looked like an old Xbox game on those settings!


I ran another test - this time with no AA and DX9:


31/05/2009 13:52:36 - Vista 64

Is that normal for my setup?

 

[Happy]

Yeah that's good. Not sure how much of a difference it would make, but you could try overclocking the quad to 3.4/3.6GHz, as well as overclocking the 4890, what are your 4890 running at 950/4000?
