Hey guys,
First off I should probably list my spec:-
AMD64 San Diego 4000+ @ 2.6Ghz
2x1Gb Corsair XMS (2-3-3-6 )
Sapphire X1900XTX
Sapphire A9RD580ADV (ATI Crossfire Xpress 3200)
Enermax Liberty 630W PSU
2x250Gb WD SATAII
Dell UltraSharp 2007WFP x 2
I built this under the impression it should have zero problems with any current games and most for at least the next 12 months. From what Ive heard about the X1900s they should be making light work of any game at the resolution I play at (1680x1050).
I have read various bemchmarks with Battlefield 2 that claims 120FPS+ at 1600x1200, yet I get seemingly random fluctuation that ranges from 25-100. At times will sit idley at 25ish.
The above is just an example, all the games I play seem to suffer the same problem.
Over the past month I have put it down to me expecting too much from the card but after reading a lot about other peoples experience with it Im inclined to believe something is not right.
3Dmark would suggest everything is going fine, I have a score of 4939, but when it comes to actual gaming Im pretty sure Im not getting the performance I should be.
The only thing I could think of was an IRQ conflict but the GPU has IRQ18 to itself. Beyond that I have no clue.
Cheers in advance for any help you can give.
