well my pc seems a bit slow in games. it has a saphire 4890, a phennom II 720 and 4 gb ddr3 ram. the temps are 70 max for the gfx card and 30 max for the cpu. do these look ok? anyways i was playing crysis and needed everythig on lowest setting or else everything was jumpy (low rame rates?). same in farcry 2. the other thing is it occasionaly crashes or no reasone BUT never in games wich is what confuses me. just browsing the internet or listening to music will crash it but not gaming? the last thing is it might be artifacting. its fine (apart from framerates) in most games but in one verry old (10 years probably) game called neverwinter nights it sometimes messes up textures. things go weird colours, inventory items are replaced by weird tv static patterns. and sometimes the menue goes whole white. but i dont know if it is artifacting or just its a buggy game (think it is) strugling with win 7. thanks
 
well i only played the first level of crysis and then formatted my pc and havnt put it back on yet. so im not sure. but they wernt high although ive heard that running it at DX10 causes lots of framerate isues so it might have been in it (not sure though) thats comforting thats its not just me. i hoped it was a buggy game. but i just updated the drivers and its better in farcry but not perfect. i i look around quickly everything is sort of jumpy and the screen sometimes seperates a little. but it might be the monitor as it did this whn i had my ps3 on it. how is the best way to check frame rates? thanks
 
right. ran fraps on farcry on high settings and got around 27 fps. when i took shadows off it went up to 33 is this ok? thanks
