I recently built a new budget PC for gaming. Here is my rig with all latest drivers installed.
AMD X2 4200+
2GB Cosair XMS PC3200 Dual Channel
A8N-SLI Mainboard
EVGA 7900GT KO 512MB
Antec Truepower 550watt
Sound Blaster X-fi
LG 204WT 20.1 widscreen LCD
I bought the games F.E.A.R and Oblivian last night to try on my new system. Not quite the performance I expected and i am very disapointed. Heres the outcome of each game.
F.E.A.R
Full graphics settings to the max on 1600x900, the game gets and average of 52fps and sometimes dips down to 25fps minimal according to the video performance test. The game does not run smoothly at all while playing and really hurts my eyes. There is no hiccups or shuttering, but when you move your mouse around while looking at the walls, its not smooth. When set down to lower resolution, some graphics set to medium and some effects like AA off, its smoother.
Oblivian
Now, with full graphics settings in 1680x1050, the game is a tiny bit choppy when moving around. Same effect as in FEAR, not smooth at all and hurts my eyes.
Is it my Video card? Shoudl I have gotten a ATI X1900XTX ot 7900GTX? Is there certain settings i need to do?
