827935 2009-11-07 07:24:00 had windows 7 installed on my rig for a couple of weeks so decided it was time to load some games on there. I chucked on Oblivion, GRAW 2, Star Wars Empire at War and Rome Total war.

So here i am sitting here all smug ready to jam some games, and what do i get? shitty frame rates. im lucky if i get 30fps on oblivion with medium detail, im sure i should be getting around 50 on full, i get 15fps on very low settings, and the same with star wars, RTW gets 50 so thats fine.

If anyone could shed some lighton my problem i would be soooo happy. Heres my specs:
CPU: Intel Pentium E2180 Conroe
GPU: Asus EN8600gt (not the passively cooled model)
Ram: 2GB G-SKILL DDR2-800
Motherboard: Gigabyte EP35 DS3L
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit (torrented)

827937 2009-11-07 07:36:00 8600GT is a POS card for gaming. Get a better card. And yeah, best not tell everyone you pirate on these forums. qazwsxokmijn (102)
827938 2009-11-07 07:42:00 It's your CPU. It's not used to dealing with stolen goods, so stutters a bit. the_bogan (9949)
827939 2009-11-07 08:04:00 Why would you aid someone who is breaking the law? That's called guilty by association.

No help for you. :angry

827940 2009-11-07 08:14:00 I know what's wrong, but your software's pirated, so no help.

Maybe there's some kind of new anti-piracy system in Windows 7 that slows down the PC? :D
