the 790fx has been known to have a lot of issues lately.
i think it has a lot to do with it having the old southbridge.

they're releasing a new 790fx in february/march that will have a new southbridge design and will give a lot more from the board.

What Kinda Issues?

taylormsj · 12-18-2007, 01:11 PM

Your 3.0 GHz amd duel core will outperform a phenom 2.2 GHz in almost every application (but not ones that are written for 4 cores, but there are hardley any out now)
There is no point in upgrading to a quad yet IMO

A good ATI card is a 3850 /3870

OK.What should i do upgrade my old one? new mobo? more memory

oscaryu1 · 12-18-2007, 01:18 PM

No. 2GB is enough for any application these days.

zer0_c00l · 12-18-2007, 01:26 PM

ok maybe ill just get a new GPU..Because im very unhappy with the one i have..it plays Battlefield 2 very bad..always having shader spots glitches..

oscaryu1 · 12-18-2007, 01:34 PM

You're joking! My 6150 GO laptop graphics plays at lowest settings great! I can play at med settings with my 7300LE and never get under 95FPS!

Drivers?

zer0_c00l · 12-18-2007, 01:38 PM

ive tried every driver out there.. it plays battlefield 2142 very nice and supreme commander..just the one game i play every day it sucks at lol

oscaryu1 · 12-18-2007, 01:38 PM

Hmm... Did you even try updating the drivers or any other system hardware? (Give the 8800 to me if you're mad it it

)
