First let me start off with stating that I am 14 with a lot of computer knowledge. I know more then the average Joe so most of the stuff you say I will understand.
My dad got me a Sapphire X800 Pro Vivo, we did the bios hack and it worked. (It runs just about at XT PE levels (515Core and 553Mem(stable)) How ever when we run it in my computer I do not get the frames that I should be getting, in fact I am getting worse frames with the X800 then my 9700pro. When I was running Farcry with the card in my machine I was getting an average of 15fps, and then when we put it in my dads computer it average 60fps with the same settings in the game. Doom 3 we get an average of 40 fps with my dads settings looking at the ship at the beginning of the game, and then when it is in my computer it gets 11fps. I was wondering if there is some way to fix it.
We know that it isn't the card considering we put it in my dads computer and he is running an Asus A7N8X with a 2500 Barton Mobile (Yes it is overclocked) and an Antec 480 TurePower, and it works fine in his computer.
We started doing a test on my computer, First we checked the rails on my PowerSuply, we got a reading on the MultiMeter of 12.4 on the 12 line, and averages 4.77 on the 5volt line. This is something that was bothering me. What we wanted to try was putting a Enermax 420watt on and see if it runs then. I have no idea what role the 5volt rail plays with the X800.
After doing that we stuck the 9700pro back into my computer to use until we find a solution to the problem, and until then the X800 is sitting and collecting dust. He told me that if I do not find a solution to the problem then he is going to sell it.
