I just bought and installed an NF3 250GB a couple days ago and it wouldn’t post after much research, emails to ATI, forum searching and testing an old Video card I figured out my 9800XT was my problem with the new Mother board. So I sold it to my buddy (works great on his rig) and bought an X850XT PE. The card seems to work fine but I’m very disappointed in the performance. I play Joint Operations all the time and with my old setup I got 40- 50 FPS, the only difference was the motherboard and video card (Asus K8V SE Deluxe, 9800XT). Now with the new setup ($500 a video card and the same graphics settings) I’m getting 45-55 FPS. On toms hardware.com they had an X800XT PE getting about 80-90 FPS (with a P4 3.2ghz). I also went through the same test they used on JOINT OPS and got 55 fps.
I put the card in last night so there are a few things I’m going to check into. But I figured I’d ask if any one has heard of any compatibility issues with the X850s and the NF3 250GB or if anyone has any ideas of what might be wrong. Thanks guys
