Slow game performance

Im looking at kombuster and it says my graphics card is an ATI Radeon 5670.?????

when i clicked on the benchmark button in your link it didn't really download or install. it just opened a new window that looked like the picture in my last post. is it supposed to do that, i don't think it is but i've seen some weird programs that do?

good grief ATI!!

get this GPU-Z Video card GPU Information Utility run it and post up a pic of the main window

Here a pic of GPU-Z

Here's a pic of GPU-Z's sensors tab while i was running Call of Duty. the GPU load says 0%. does GPU-Z have the same problem as Afterburn does with reading the usage of my card?

so you definately dont have onboard graphics on your motherboard? (im too lazy too look which one you have ) and you have been into bios and selected PCIe as your main graphics adapter?

so you must have some rogue ATI drivers on there or something!!?? Does anything show up im add/remove programs? (programs and features) for ATI?

oh and below on gpuz where it says NVidia gforce 9600GT , click the drop down list......anything there?

there is no onboard graphics, and the primary graphics adapter is PCIe.
Nothing shows up in add/remove programs for ATI, however, as i believe i mentioned in a previous post, DriverSweeper found and ATI catalyst driver. I didn't delete it although i probably should have.

There is nothing else in the drop down list.

Edit - ATI Display, not ATI Catalyst

i dont think driver sweeper found ATI as such its just listed in its default cleaning profile , i wonder why kombuster shows ATI?? Ill have to go away and ask elsewhere

I've got to run. have to go birthday shop for my Mom, i'll be back later.

Honestly man I think its your ancient P4. I remember the first time I tried W7 it was on a P4 box and the game performance definitely suffered. You need to upgrade for sure.

Ok, i'm back.

About reinstalling 7, i have the upgrade version of Home Premium. will i be able to install 7 after i format the drive or to i need to go out and buy the full OS version?
