I got a replacement 4870x2 and it is the same so i am guessing the card was fine that i did an RMA on.

I have to turn off a number of options to get over 60fps in a lot intensive on call of duty world at war.

things like dynamic foliage and stuff.

I mentioned FEAR in the game section.

i mentioned the test would really slow down when the barrel explodes i disabled shadows now the in game test gives much better fps the minimum being over 60?

Whats wth this card i though it was capable of maxing out games with a standard of 60fps.
 
I play games on 4AA and 16AF at 1600x1200.

I am not surw which test to run it with i am not sure what i am looking for.

I ran 3D Mark 06 a few weeks back on the older card and i get 17k
 
How is a can you 280 get a higher score on 3d mark to my 4870x2? peoples seem to be 18 to 20k from the list i was presented with they use on corei7 systems though.

So you think my 17k score sounds pk? it was the free edition by the way.

My cpu is clocked to 3.6 is the max it will go on my board.

I have the gpu's clocked also.

And what do you mean xfire? using both of my cores?
 
I just looked through google and it seems that somebody else has the same issues as me with FEAR in game test at the end when the barrel explodes and the fps plummit to 30 to 40.

I just look at a similar test on 3dmark 06 and a guy got 18k i did mine without oc at the time so i would imaging that i would get about 18k now.

Only thing i can put it down to is the fact that the drivers are just still not up to the standard they should be.
 
The results of furmark are.

Score 2060

fps min 12

States that it tested 2 gpu's

not sure what processor part meant 2999mhz
max fps 52

Average 35
 
Your score is better than my x2 this is depressing :(

My min is terrible compare to a lot of other peoples.

Not sure if its a x2 problem.
 
Well i do not know what it is gpuz said its using both cores and on google an guy with an x2 has same probs as me with fear.

Like i said in certain area's of cod 5 fps are high and in others extremely low.

Lowest i have seen in cod 4 is 48 and higest is like 125 all maxed out.
 
Ok so i did it without AA on and i got this.

Score 8492

Min 15

Average 145

time 60000

Res 1600x1200

cpu core 2 duo

cpu speed 3771

os vista 64bit

Max 192
 
I got this with furmark...MSAA off...

Your score is similar to mine expect for higher min and higher res.
 
Well now my min is 92 average 143 max 194

score 8537.

without aa

0S full ver is. windows vista
OS version in full is ver.6.0 build 6001 service pack 1.
 
15 is madly low.
Watch is closely, is 15 happening when the ring is presnting itself as an "O" or when it's not?
(I ask because performance in furmark is highest when the ring is edge on and lowest when it's side on, ie, presenting an "O" not a "---" shape.)

Or is it spiking down to 15 as and when it pleases?
If the latter, I suggest you have some horror of a process wrecking your machine, you don't have Norton installed do you?

No i have no virus scanner i have recently installed vista so a lot processor will be running i guess.

I have managed to improve fps with overclocking the gpu the 777 core mem 1010 same on both gpus i am not sure if they have to match.

I have also pushed cpu to its max which is 3.7 and mem is at 1172 some like that.
