Hey guys,
Just yesterday I built myself a new computer with the following specs:
ATI x1900 AIW
AMD 64 3500+
1 Gig ram
200gb SATA HD
Asus xpress 3200 crossfire mobo
Now on paper this computer should be able to run F.E.A.R on high with decent FPS. However, yesterday I installed BF 2 and was extremely disapointed with the results. Even before I started playing the game (IE during registration) it was lagging like crazy. It would work for 10 seconds and then completely freeze for 3. I downloaded all the latest drivers for my hardware already and simply cant figure out why its doing this.
Then I tried playing FEAR. I saw the same thing, while it wasnt nearly as bad as BF 2, it would lag or skip whenever something would load, even with the settings turned to medium.
I also ran 3DMark05 and scored around 8600, slightly lower than the ones I compared to online, but only by a hundred or so (and they had better processors).
Please help, it is very frustrating and I have simply run out of ideas,
Thanks
