it just seems jittery i would be happy with a steady 80 fps and i think that the only way to achive that would be better processor and to run 2 gfx cards... no?
I know you this is probably the last thing you want to hear but if you want to set everthing on high you are probably just going to have to spend more money. I had basically the same setup before I upgraded to what you see here. This is what it took to make me happy. I think a hotter video card might make the difference for you. I had the BFG 7600 GT OC too. It ran BF2 pretty well with a little chop once in a while not put everyting on high. Had to turn serveral things down to medium. Still not perfect but pretty good. I thought about just getting a better vid card but saved my money up and went all out. I'm glad I did. This thing flys. All setting at max now. Flawless. Plus super fast loads.
anyway im not happy at all with the preformance for gaming and multitasking. frankly it sux. i bearly get good fps in dod source (30-50 in an open area on high settings) its just unplayable. and as far as the multi tasking... i cant do too much. have i done something wrong other than potentially buying crap hardware? is there settings that need fooled with? ive already overclocked the vid card using coolbits.... nothing to the cpu. y does this suck? im soooo unhappy
No, my x850xt could play it maxed without a problem. Your eyes can only see 25FPS, so anything above that is pointless.
We should run some diagnostics to see what the problem is. What anti-virus do you use?
if i was to just upgrade the processor and keep the card i have do you think it would be decent? and if so what would be a good move in upgrading the cpu
You said multi-tasking sucks. You don't have a dual core processor which would be an immense improvement on multi-tasking. Also with everything said, the 7600GT is not a bad card at all. Also, 30-50 fps is not bad. 50fps is definitely nothing to be ashamed about. i think the problem for you maybe internet lag if you have "jitteryness" because at 30-50fps, it should be more than playable.
