Low performance from my Asus 4850?

KaneStatton · 3 Jul 2008 at 19:23

I have had a 4850 since tuesday and wasn't to impressed from the get go. My previous card was a 3870 and was at stock it seems to be almost exactly the same.
I recorded a benchmark on FRAPS on the map broadcast on COD4 with all the eye candy and 4xAA and the AF bar up to full. 30 ping and a empty server.
Results were Frames: 4199 - Time: 60000ms - Avg: 69.983 - Min: 52 - Max: 114

Now i have just wiped the HotFix drivers and i am now using the 8.7 Beta's

Frames: 7080 - Time: 71830ms - Avg: 98.566 - Min: 15 - Max: 134 Can't remember what the level was called but a massive improvement problem solved i think

2008-07-04 21:24:03 - iw3mp
Frames: 8553 - Time: 72829ms - Avg: 117.439 - Min: 87 - Max: 238 just over clocked it to 690mhz GPU and 1172 mhz Memory and it is just as stable and freaking awsome card. Love hate relationship with the card
Thanks Kane

what res?

Phatzy · 3 Jul 2008 at 19:28

what cpu you using and you considered typing /cg_drawfps 1 and /com_maxfps 0 into console

lol at me not putting up my Res, 1440x900

That may be the problem, I'm sure someone with more knowledge will post up though

what is your cpu?, it maybe your bottleneck

KaneStatton · 3 Jul 2008 at 20:07

2.4 ghz quad Q6600 un-overclockable Intel chipset

Something is wrong....it should be far better than that. Are you sure the gpu is running in x16 mode and not x1 or something

Phatzy · 3 Jul 2008 at 20:10

did you use that res on your older card?

dosen't look right to me

gurusan · 3 Jul 2008 at 21:49

well perhaps you are cpu limited. 1440x900 is a very low resolution....

not sure what else to say as I get around 90fps average 8xAA 16xaf in single player...like 110fps in multiplayer

Might just snap my card seems to be the only solution

Can't you snap a lesser card to vent the frustration and send the 4850 my way? >>

why would you want it when it performs the same as my 3870 did lol it dosen't deserve another owned just a good snapping

gurusan · 3 Jul 2008 at 22:12

well i had a 3850 before this overclocked so that it was way ahead of any 3870.....and the 4850 absolutely owns it in every way
