CRYsis

I upgraded from a Leadtek 8800gts to a BFG OC2 8800GT, and now playing crysis the performance feels slower! the hard drive is being accessed more and it is very jerky.
I'm running the same settings as before (1440 x 900, high)! I run 169.09 drivers.....
hmm very annoying, im sure it should be quicker!

the rig is
6000+ x2
2gb OCZ 5300
8800GT OC2

Windows XPsp2.

Random and annoying!
what might it be?!?

very helpful,,.... thanks for that.
anyone got any constructive answers?

strange indeed.
I have now rolled back to the latest whqls and it seems better!
I did manage to get the same for my GTS as i paid for my GT.
I'll have to do more digging! and for people thinking of doing the upgrade, the GT is much louder when its working hard!!!!

yes the 640mb one, I read everywhere that it (GT) is about 20 - 30% quicker roughly.

its more to do with hardware, but thanks for the constructive waste of bandwidth

Thanks for all replies, I guess the answer is more physical memory!

Try reverting to the 169.02 drivers, if I use the .04 or .09 it causes slow-down on my BFG GT.

But the .02's work like a charm

i have done now, and i agree completely
