i know this is a link to another forum and im not sure if that is allowed but you guys need to shed some light onto this one. i think there is something fishy going on. those screens are impossible. maybe they got mixed up. what do u guys think.

I think there is something wrong with that guys computer

in his signature has his benches and they are all higher than mine and i have an X800 pro but im ok with my FPS.

Theres somethign wrong with his setup somwhere, id suggest he flush his drivers out and install the latest and greatest from scratch, as well as undoing any config/game specific tweaks he may have made.

Even still i would suspect it'll still be wierd, as he's probably done somethign really obscure to make the system perform like that

i think (on occasions) that he has done something with the BIOS of the card!! probably messed about with it. either that or got his card from a dealer at the side of thre street, and its really and FX5200! there are some sick people out there

but he seems to think that the X800 pro is a suckage card and the 9800 pro is better. not that there is probably something wrong with his setup.

i far prefer this forum to the other. everybody is much more clever.

what drivers are you using for your X800?
Catalyst 4.10 Beta

Ok so we are looking at one persons results, comparing two cards on two different computers, comparing two screenshots of one moments FPS at two different parts of the game?

Sounds scientific to me

[porsch1909]

but he says his FPS never goes high ever. in farcry his dont go above 20.

If I said the sky was green, would you believe me? He's either talking out of his rear end or, as has been mentioned, his setup's screwed.
