Help with my 480
Right so i bought a 480 last week, i was useing a 4870 and i'm disapointed in the diffrence between them as i was expecting a lot more.
You think with such a massive upgrade i would notise the diffrence? well in the games i play on max setting's my FPS are about the same or less as the old 4870 and i can't really see any diffrence.
I'm useing upto date drivers: 258.96_desktop_win7_winvista_64bit_international_whql(2)
and directX version 11
Also evey now and then while playing games my screen turns black for like 1-2 seconds changes to my desktop then back to the game, it only happens now and then some times i can play all day and night and it's fine, but when it happens it seems to do it like 2-3 times and then sorts it's self out, it's not over heating btw i have a Antec 902 and with fan's maxed i have never seen the card go over 85c full load..normaly idle's at between 45c and 50c.
Plus i built my wife a cheeper system and put my old 4870 in it and ran Heaven Benchmark and got these results:

I can't usderstand these results, also i run 64bit windows to her 34bit and my RAM is faster than her's mine is 1666MHz to her 1333MHz. How can she score so much more than me and have better Fps? it's the same in windows Experience my Graphics and gaming Graphics score 7.0 but her's score 7.4 can anyone make sence of this?
Btw nothing has been overclocked on these two rigs it's all standard.
