Hey, I have a new sapphire ati radeon 9800 pro, 256 bit, 128 mb here with a zalman heatpipe and side fan installed. THe problem is, it is running like crap. I get ~60 fps in counterstrike and it drops when people come on the screen. My 9500 non-pro ran 99 fps constant. I think i know what the problem is. See, the power supply i am running this on is a 380w one that came with my chieftec case. Other components on the psu include: 1gb ram, athlon xp2100+ at 168x13, 5 fans, hsf, 2 hds (80gb and 200gb WD 8mb 7200rpms), cdrw, and an sb live 5.1. My question is, would this cause the bad fps? Or I should I look into other issues?
