hi everyone its been a long time since i posted on the forums. anyways, i just bought a new EVGA 6800gt card and i feel like im not getting the full power of the card or something. when i play source i usually get anywhere from 40-120 but its mainly about 60 constant which dissappoints me along with skipping when in big open areas (long halls, long a at dust2 etc.)
my 3dmark03 score also really disappointed me (9805)
my system:
Athlon XP 2200+
1gig kingston
EVGA 6800gt
im currently using EVGA's 71.25 drivers and have 1 gig o' ram
someone at my lan center told me it could be the fact that i have an older processor (Athlon Xp 2200+) and that i should upgrade. im mainly just trying to build my comp up so it will play source flawlessly and not spend too much money (pci express, etc)
if anyone has any ideas please post because i will try almost anything
