| 854010 | 2010-01-31 23:55:00 | i thought it might have been the CPU trying to keep up with the graphics, but I ran graphics on max before upgrading the graphics card and never had a problem or would it be that my new card is quite a bit faster than my old card that its hard for the CPU to keep up? I check the CPU usage through my G15 keyboard & have also done it through taskmanager |

| 854012 | 2010-02-01 02:37:00 | Isnt the GTS250 just a re-badged 9800GTX?, which was a 8800GTS.....which is only about 10% faster than the 9600GT, your old card?.....i get confused with nV re-badging.... I would say its a driver issue.....did you uninstall the drivers of the prevuious card before installing the new card and drivers? |

Yea correct the 8800GTS (G90), 8800GT, 9800GTX, and the GTS250 are all within 20% of each other, and the 9600GT is only a bit slower maybe up to 20% without looking it up. 9600GT to a GTS250 is a woeful barely worth it upgrade hate to say. Most of the games the OP runs are CPU hogs from my own experience depending on the resolution of course. A E6550 is only 2.3Ghz, id be overclocking that puppy to 3.0 easily if the board will do it. |
