EVGA 8800GTX problems?

[cquence]

I just recently upgraded to the 8800GTX. I had a 6800Ultra before and was getting 60-80fps and ever since I upgraded to the new card, it performed the same and sometimes even worst than my previous card. I dont understand. When I was running the 6800Ultra, I only had 2gigs of PC8500 RAM and now, I got the 8800GTX with an extra 2gigs so I am at 4gigs of 1066mhz memory and it performed the same sometimes worst with max settings. I dont understand, I should be in the 100's. I was also running it on 1680x1050 on both cards too. What is wrong with my system? My specs are in my sig.

Have you updated the driver for the 8800GTX?

I have the latest driver.

I forgot to mention...this was on CS:S.

do you have V synk on? that caps your frame rate to your refresh rate.

Vsync is off on everything.

its weird, my video stress test resulted with a 181.2fps. But it doesnt even come close to that in game. My AA setting is at 4x MSAA and my AF is at Trilinear and both were recommended by CS:S.

Check you v sync again cos thats what made me get 60 fps restricted

When you say "worser experience" does that mean that you actually SEE the game lag? FPS calculators can be wrong...

In Counter-Strike there is a, well.. rate counter i guess you could call it in the game. You start running it by going into the developer's console and entering net_graph 3 ; This brings up some text that constantly tells and updates you on your fps, choke, loss and in/out while playing. I highly doubt it would be giving him wrong results. If he's using fraps or something though, maybe it is.

I kinda have the same thing as you though mate, i upgraded from a P4 1.8, FX 5200, 512 RAM to a Core2Duo 2.0, 8500GT and 2GB RAM.. Yet FPS is only increased by about 20. On demanding maps like Dust2 i can get FPS as low as 35 on max settings.. but.. 1024x768 Res..

Yuck! That's worse than mine and you have a quad core... But is it Overclocked?

It is stock. Everything is stock. I havent OC anything yet. And yes I use net_graph 3 and it shows a very low fps rate. I should be expecting somewhere near 100 no matter how much action I get. When I get into huge gun fights my 8800GTX drops to like 30-40 just like my 6800Ultra.
