Im getting less fps with a better video card

[davie23223]

I just got my new 9600 pro 128mb and i get less fps compared to my old Geforce4 mx-440 64mb with no fan! When loading cs with my old gf4mx i get 99fps in most areas, gunfights = 60-99fps, lowest it is 60fps. I now have my new 9600 pro and i get 90-99fps, 20-70fps in gunfights. Anyone know whats goin on, i ran 3dmark 01, and 03, the scores crushed my old scores with the old gf4mx.My 3d mark scores with my gf4mx were both under 1000. My 3dmark 01 score = 7399, 3dmark 03 score = 3194 with my new radeon 9600pro

you sure all of your old gfx drivers are removed from your system?

Something's definetlly wrong there, even with 3D Mark. If I'm not mistaking, I got 8000 something with my Radeon 8500 in 3DMark01 on that system...yeah, exact system ;P

Hmm...this wasn't one of the card someone said there might be problems, right? That was just the GF4 Ti?

As Hairy_Lee mentioned, double check the drivers, AGP drivers as well, and directx. Did you install the Via 4in1 stuff as I suggested, or whatever it's called now...

How do i uninstall the drivers totally, i tried going to add/remove programs, ati catalysts, and also tried clicking uninstall under display adapters in device manager.

This is a new radeon 9600pro, it has nothing wrong with it, its not the gf4ti hehe. What was that 4in1 thing?

Yeah yeah, I just remember you asking something about a bad card on ebay, just making sure this wasn't one of them...

If you go to Device Manager, view, and show hidden devices, you should see a few extra drivers, sometimes extra video drivers are still there...
