REfering to wow now, I used to have around 35 fps with my old 8800GT with highest settings, now I'm down at 25.

do that test mate i sent you and if ya pc screen gos green pixelated or even crashes then you know ya cards dodgy mate.

My results:


It says i have the old driver version yet I uninstalled it, rebooted twice and installed the new one.

download driver sweeper to completely remove old drivers and the try re-installing new ones have you got your quad core overclocked ? if you do your gpu benefits from that hugely. also your res is 1440x900 19" Monitor man your card needs res at least 1680x1050 to stretch its legs mate that could also be a factor

I dno I havent overclocked you can check the MHz in the print.

I will try the Driver Sweeper tool, and report back. :) Thanks for all the great help.

your welcome mate. make sure your windows updates are up to date also. but that res honestly mate your card is being wasted your card loves high res 1680x1050 or above

Gotta thank you. The fps only went up a few bit but I guess I'm in a really crowded area aswell.

The graphics looks better though.

Too bad my screen can only handle 1440x900 :P

And i've read a few things about wow too, its not all about the gpu. :P

just done the same test has you SCORE 4914 FPS Min 69 FPS Max 106 FPS AVG 80 Time 6000 ms RES1440X900 q6600 overclocked to 3.8 os windows server 2007 ver.6.1 build 7077 (no service pack)

yup I did it again with 4x on aswell, didnt have that earlier.

Scored min around 40 and average around 85 and max 115

try other games mate see if your FPS any better. also on the furmark test do a stability test. good luck man
