Big thanks from me. Exactly what I was looking for.

Alright cheers for the info. I'll tell him those things, I also asked him to download and run 3dMark06, since he is getting stuttering in all games he has. Unfortuantely though, he only plays Steam based games, so he doesn't have normal games to test.

OK, my friend has an issue with the game. Let me quote: My processor: AMD ATHLON 64 X2 6400+ 2MB SKT-AM2 (Black Edition) graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT Memory:2GB DDR2 PC-6400 800 MHZ (2 x 1 GB 800) Far good enough to max out CSS, he has 150FPS usually, and then "every few seconds i...

For UT3, at that resolution the 8800GT 256MB will perform exactly the same as the 512MB version. If you don't get any bugs, like I did with my system, you will be playing UT at a constant 100+ framerate. The card is pretty cheap in UK, cheaper than a 3850 and better performing by far. If you are...

Definitely! I get very similar scores with my stock GT and 4400+ @ stock in 3DMark and Crysis.

No way! I think it's Polish :)

Hmm would be interesting to know. Doubt that would work, but still... Anyone?

Depends what framerate you find is "acceptable". Except around 25 FPS in Crysis on all "High", but you can use tweaks (I'll show you some good ones) to boost that up by quite a bit. Besides, your CPU will not really bottleneck you too far, you will still be playing UT3/ COD4/ ProStreet, etc. at...

X2 4400+, in siggy. Stock @ 2.2Ghz.

Jus to clarify, which drivers are you using? I've tried the 169.09s and the 169.17s both with no success :(

Yeah, I've mentioned somewhere that I use tweaks. In fact, I use "Doomlord52"'s "Very high tweaks" with added motionblur @1280x1024 that give me higher framerates than just "High" (32 instead of 28 :D) I also noticed that the main gameplay runs much smoother than 26 FPS, and that the CPU is much...

Hmm, that seems a bit low to me, I got 26 FPS on all stock, 660/1650/950 (stock for "OC" edition) Downclocking my CPU to 1.7Ghz resulted in 20 FPS for me.

I'll be darned if that is not Crysis.

Can you tell me how UT3 is running? Are you getting constant 62 FPS capped, or do you sometimes have spikes into the high 20s/ low 30s?

Yeah, I have a 4400+, I get 28FPS average in the Crysis bench on 1280x1024 all settings on 'High' in DX9 Win XP, with my processor overclocked to 2.6Ghz. Mind running that benchmark and posting your results here, it would be interesting for me to know. Also, if you have UT3 or its demo, tell me...
