To quote Gundam 00 " Your machine is Five years old. Your time in this world has already ended." Get a New GPU. You sir have a GPU bottleneck. Get your self a 580 and enjoy your CPU bottleneck.

My PCIE running at x4 is a disadvantage ?

Not disadvantage.. The higher u X fps drop to let u in game Texture nicer? Depends on ur needs.. But u are saying u saw it in nvidia setting?

9800?

Theres your problem. Get a 260 or greater

well i have
i7 980x (6 core) 3.33GHz
12GB RAM 1333MHz
2x GTX 460 (1GB) running in SLI

i havnt checked the fps i get on the full version yet, never bothered using fraps while playing.. but i was getting 50-90 fps on maxed settings on the demo.. i run black ops at 290 fps.. so i was a bit disappointed


On 290 FPS?
What a waste of money,no offense but your next electricity bill will be huge if you play Black Ops alot. ^^

If you can somehow lock the frames on 100 or something i would do that.Mother nature and your wallet will thank you.And your graphics card also. ;D

for this game you will need not jokingly video card. 9800 in not good opportunity for this game =_=

Should have gotten a GTX 500 series card. Hell I use a GTX 280 and the game is flawless maxed in extreme at 1920x1080

Windows Vista 32bit
lawl

i highly highly HIGHLY doubt you got a clean 60fps on crysis 1 on very high with your rig. but hey maybe you have some magic going on under the hood!

Well I do run it without SSAO with no AA or Vsync and so far my fps was 55-60

Vista 32 bit, I lol'd

What you should do (assuming you have a little cash): buy a 400 or 500 series and use the 9800 as a physx.

There are only a few games that actually support Physx... None of the Crysis games support it.

9800 should be fine for this game tbh

im using dual core e8500 @ 3.0ghz, gts* 250 and i manage to run it on "extreme" with 40+ fps all the time

There will be more, and its better than just trashing the card.

Thanks for clearing the doubt.

Advanced Settings 1280x720 Avg/41.994 sometimes a little better .

Dont run the top settings if you want frame rate. I had a 570 (sent it in for stepup to a 580) and I ran max settings at 60FPS. I put it down to very high and I get 120.

Get Gtx 590 + overclock the **** out of it = Frame rate Profit.

Using a 6870 myself. Runs the game good. At the very least get like a 5770 or something.

Frame rate profit doesn't happen when you buy from EVGA.
