performance

[amluthe]

I actually had a previous thread on game performance issues on my new primary build that is running slower than my secondary while playing mainly wow and bad company, I installed ati catalyst and that made it run a little better but ultimately still doesn't run up to par with my secondary with having twice the amount of ram video memory ect, here's my parts list if it helps p5q pro turbo with an intel 2.6 radeon 5770 4 gigs of ram 750 gig hd and a 750 watt psu, thanks!

Welcome to the forums!

Can you post the specs of your secondary system that you are comparing it too as well? Also, if you can be more specific on which processor you have that would be helpful as well, there are several Intel processors that run at 2.6 GHz, do you know if it is a dual or quad core?

Also, what kind of performance are you getting on these systems? Can you give up approximate framerates and what settings and resolution you are using? Give us all the info you can and we will do our best to help you out. :)

On my secondary its an amd athelon x2 2.8 with a m4a7 asus mobo a 400 watt psu and a 9600gt my primary is a dual core but I'm not sure which specific one I got it from a friend but its an lga 775 and currently oced to 3.0 I got 50 fps on wow with my secondary and 30 with primary on full settings

Creating two threads is not going to help resolve your issue man... BUMP the other thread and get this one removed (report your post) for sanity's sake. Seriously you will have both threads going at once not knowing what was tried and what worked and what didnt.

EDIT: Actually the title for your other thread was thermal paste so this should be fine...but be aware advice will be stepping on toes as you can see (someone asked for system specs which you covered in the other thread). List those specs before you reply to anything... :)

need a bigger PSUNot true at all. very poor advice. :shrug:

Welll its a 750 on my current main but I used to have it on my secondary and it still runs the same it did with only a 400

[arcanise]

didnt realize you has a 700 on your main

So, if I am understanding you right:

Primary system: Intel Dual-Core 3.0GHz, ATI HD5770, 4GB RAM
Secondary system: AMD X2 2.8GHz, nVidia 9600GT

The secondary system runs WoW maxed at 50 FPS while the primary system runs it at 30 FPS?

Sounds like there is something wrong, I could check drivers first, try uninstalling your ATI Catalyst Drivers and use Driver Sweeper to clean out all old driver-related files, restart and download and install the latest ATI drivers from the website. I would also make sure you have your chipset drivers installed, sometimes that can cause decreased performance.

Ill try that

Where can I find my chipset drivers

[Andrew149]

uninstal ati drivers and use driver cleaner than reinstall

[amluthe]

ok that part is fixed now windows experience tools say ram is rated 6.0 on primary and 7.1 on secondary with the same ram installed now i put 2 more gigs in secondary and primary already had 4 wtf lol

Where can I find my chipset drivers
From the motherboard website or if it is an Intel chipset you can get them here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Chipsets&ProductLine=Chipset+Software&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Chipset+Software+Instal lation+Utility&ProdId=816&LineId=1090&FamilyId=40
