    WTF Games run like shit just got a new computer

    Pentium D 820 2 x 1MB L2 Cache, 2 x 512MB DDR2 Dual Channel, 250GB SATA, ATI Radeon x800 Pro

    Games are running like shit, I ran 3dMark05 and my score like 4500 something... shitty FPS... under 30FPS - games run like crap.


    WTF is wrong? Drivers are newest from ATI's site.

              Try looking for hotfixes for those games.

                  FEAR requires extremely fast computer.
                  I'm not sure about your graphic card. But two weeks ago I paid about $180 for mine and it's less than average.
                  Besides, games run much better on Athlon.

                            You guys are joking right? This is an ATI Radeon x800 Pro - it cost $300, its not the video card.

                            I have another system running an x700 Pro and it runs better than this

                              An ATI x800 = ~$200-250

                              Turn down the graphics settings, you've probably got them set far too high for what your pc can handle. A 3dmark score of 4500 is quite low for todays specs, you need to be running your games at about 800x600x32 - Medium/Possibly High

                              Your ram could also be a bottleneck, BF2 requires 2gb+ of ram to run in high/ultra mode, and FEAR just rapes any computer.
