| Vista Ultimate x64 | Game FPS significantly lower after mass system upgrade Heyas all, After my local PC store has proven themselves noobs, i've decided to peruse some forums for a resolution to my dilemma. For 2 years until a week ago, this was my system: AMD 4200+ Athlon x2 2.8GHz Geforece 9500GT 128 bit, 1GB DDR2 32 strm proc. (this was my latest card) 3 GB of DDR, 3 sticks at PC 3200 and one at 2700 ( retarded i know, but wait) Xtreme sound 5.1 Daimond MM cheapo speacial MSI 7185 nForce 4 mobo, SLI etc.. After fate took its toll and i fried my cpu from a tiny shaving of metal from my drill bit head after installing a new fan, i was in a pinch for time and went and bought a new system: ( from dxdiag with my own notes): System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 8/3/2009, 17:02:21 Machine name: KENNETH-PC Operating System: Windows Vista™ Ultimate Service Pack 1 Language: English (Regional Setting: English) System Manufacturer: MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO.,LTD System Model: MS-7511 BIOS: Default System BIOS Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 7850 Dual-Core Processor (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz Memory: 4094MB RAM ( super talent ddr2 pc6400 800) Page File: 1221MB used, 7145MB available Windows Dir: C:\Windows DirectX Version: DirectX 10 DX Setup Parameters: Not found DxDiag Version: 6.00.6001.18000 64bit Unicode --------------- Display Devices --------------- Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT Manufacturer: NVIDIA Chip type: GeForce 9500 GT DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0640&SUBSYS_094319F1&REV_A1 Display Memory: 2799 MB Dedicated Memory: 1007 MB Shared Memory: 1791 MB Current Mode: 1680 x 1050 (32 bit) (60Hz) Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor Driver Name: nvd3dumx.dll,nvwgf2umx.dll,nvwgf2umx.dll,nvd3dum,nvwgf2um,nvwgf2um Driver Version: 8.15.0011.9038 (English) DDI Version: 10 Driver Attributes: Final Retail Driver Date/Size: 7/14/2009 11:54:00, 9375232 bytes WHQL Logo'd: Yes WHQL Date Stamp: Device Identifier: {D7B71E3E-4500-11CF-0F59-482901C2C535} Vendor ID: 0x10DE Device ID: 0x0640 SubSys ID: 0x094319F1 Revision ID: 0x00A1 Revision ID: 0x00A1 Video Accel: ModeMPEG2_A ModeMPEG2_C ModeVC1_C ModeWMV9_C THE QUESTION IS: even after a significant system upgrade why am i only getting 8-16 FPS on my games when before i even had ram w/ different timings! i've scoured my event log, driver version and updated my bios. Ive ran memtest86 and chkdsk and every other utility, i really am at a loss and need help. any and all advice is uber appreciated. (and yes i've spoken with tech support from my games and they don't know what it is either) thank you ktstowell |

| Vista x64 + Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate) | Re: Game FPS significantly lower after mass system upgrade Did you reset your bios when you did all this upgrade? what about your hard drive, did you install a fresh vista? Sorry, you either didn't specify all this or I am getting more senile by the minute. ![]() Also, I am terrible at reading DXdiag specs... did you also updated your motherboard? You may want to go to your profile and update your "System Specs", this way, we all can see them and help better. You can see mine at the bottom of the content window above the Orange Post Reply button. 8-16 FPS increase is huge (believe it or not), more so if the other video settings went from low to high or even med to high What did you use to measure the FPSs? |

| Vista Home Premium 64 bit | Re: Game FPS significantly lower after mass system upgrade I would check you BIOS as AstaLaVista suggested. You can optimize the computer memory, etc. As far as DX10, you also have DX9 installed as well. Lastly, what game are you playing that the FPS stinks? |

| Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Game FPS significantly lower after mass system upgrade That graphics card needs to be updated. A 9500GT is at the bottom end of gaming cards. A 9800GT would be a worthwhile update. It won't be your system, the cpu is OK, the memory is enough, but the gpu is slowing things down. |
