hello all
i recently upped to a gtx 480 from sli 8800gt. I have been playing brotherhood lately, and i have heard of people getting 60+ fps in brotherhood with this card and i get 35-60.it only drops below 40 momentarily, but when it does, it seems extremely chuggish. Dense areas of crowd i get around 40-45 fps. my question is quite simply, is this an expected fps? or should it be higher? I cant see it being a RAM issue, as this game isn't much of a memory hog.
Also, The Sims 3 doesnt dip below 50fps, but is constantly choppy, no matter how i adjust settings? i have heard many complaints about this. is there any way to fix this?
It does not appear to be a driver issue either. have tried previous releases, but no increases in performance.
I will also note that i cannot seem to overclock my gpu Vcore using asus SmartDoctor provided with the Card, as every time i do the next time i boot games are extremely choppy -20 fps in DX9 until i re-install the driver. Any Advice?
It does not appear to be a driver issue either. have tried previous releases, but no increases in performance, nor can i re-boot properly with OC Vcore
