I need some help please!
I`ve just upgraded from a Gainward 7600gt 256mb to a Inno3d 8800gts 320mb and i`m dissapointed.
Using the FEAR (v1.08) built-in test (1440X900, everything turned up to max) the 7600 had an average fps of 22.
These are the results using the 8800gts:
Min 15fps
Avg 28fps
Max 47fps
44% under 25fps
45% 25-40fps
11% over 40fps
Are these figures normal for an 8800gts or is there a problem in my setup?
My system:
Pentium D820 2.8ghz
MSI MS-7255 P4M890M-L motherboard (2 mem slots)
1gb 2X512mb Swissbit PC2-4300 DDR2
Jeantech 700w psu
I`ve tried the different drivers that were on the PCF coverdisk, no better.
Are there different speed PCIex16 slots, or are they all the same speed?
According to SiSoftware Sandra:
PCIe Capabilites
Version 1.00
Maximum Payload Size 128
Width x16/x16
Speed 2.5Gb/s / 2.5Gb/s
If it`s the system memory holding it back (not enough? not fast enough?) what would happen if i put 667mhz or faster in my mobo, which according to the website is limited to 400-533mhz? Would it still work, albeit at 533mhz? I don`t really want to buy more 533mhz memory, just in case i ever upgrade the mobo.
I`m sure there must be a serious bottleneck somewhere, because the 8800gts is supposed to be a really fast card!
Thank you.
