Well as the topic states i'm having performace issuse's with my sapphire 9800NP. i'm getting about 60-100 fps in counter-strike, where with my gf3 ti 200 i was getting 100 fps no questions asked. the very odd thing with the fps with my 9800 pro, no matter smoke, people, gun fire(all the sprits that effected my gf3 ti 200) it doesnt matter with my 9800 NP. i do have it clocked with radclocker at 410/315. i am using the 3.9 drivers atm, i tried the 3.7 all last night and actualy saw 10fps lower in all area's.
like i was saying witht he smoke and stuff. to me it seems like... its rendering everything without a problem... theres just something holding back the fps(only with counter-strike) i have my WC3 game at 1600x1200 max detail the game runs like a gem no matter what. both ffII and Ashurons call 2(MMOPG) run very very well. its just with counter-strike it seems, when the card decideds to run lower then 100fps it will run lower. theres no diffrence from max AA, and AF, and no AA and AF, besides a Huge visual diffrence, witch i expected, but it still doesnt improve or lower my fps at all. if i use the performace slider it changes the fps bye about 10 from max quality to max performace, but on areas on the max where the card runs slow, it acts the same.
i tried clocking it back to stock, didnt change anything. vsync is off btw. i have uninstalled my drivers in safe mode rebooted to safe mode made sure there gone then reinstalled, making sure the proper drivers installed. the only thing i havent done was reformat, and i dont really want to cause i have to re set up my RAID and its a pain in the but.
sorry for this repost, but i tried some new things thought i could get some new ideas.
