Hi,
Well I'm sort of having the same problem here. here are my specs
- 3700+ s754 (the socket is maxed out)
- 1024 mb ram
- 9800 pro flashed to an XT (Zalman cooled)
- 1280 x 1024 with full details, mirrors, etc. (got to use this resolution cause I'm using a Samsung 913N TFT screen)
while running, say for instance, South City with one car on 2x AA and 2x AF i get between 100 - 120 FPS, but with 4x AA and 8x AF the average framerate drops to about 75-85 FPS.
So I'm wondering if I should also consider buying a new videocard. The asus radeon aX800 XT PE is on sale here in the Netherlands for 249 euro's.
Everything runs smoother with 1024 x 768 but this won't give me the crispness in screen quality while using the Samsung screen.
I'm afraid with my system the weakest link is the ATI 9800 PRO/XT. But than again if you check the unofficial LFS benchmark site I'm still on top!
Bye all
