Powercolor Radeon 9800

[Johan Wiklund]

I got a major problem with my computer, i dont know if it is the
graphicscard or if it is something else.
i got a
P4 Celeron Tualatin Socket mPGA-478 2.0Ghz
Kingston 512 Ram pc333
Jetway P4M266
powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
120 gb hdd


when im play counterstrike i have about 20 - 30 FPS.....
i cant even play battlefield 1942 because i have like 1-10 fps when it is
over 10 players in the game.. when all are at a small area i have about 0.1
fps
just the same in I.G.I.2..


i noticed the same problem in battlefield 1942 earlier but with another card
a Xelo GF4 MX440
but i thougt that it was just a bad graphicscard..

i Have the latest drivers for my radeon card..
and directX 9.0b

Benchmark the system with 3DMark and then we could get a better idea.

Do you have another display hooked up to the card? Like s-video out to the
tv, or another monitor? Or perhaps its set up to think there is two
displays.. once somehow just by having my TV hooked up my 3dmark scores
dropped.... weird stuff.

That's way too low. My card is running at 438/364 on a motherboard
that is rather slow (it can be sped up) and I'm getting around the 14K
mark. My old 8500 gave a score of 7k or so with stock speeds, that's
why I'm still impressed by it, considering its age.

Have you cleaned up all old drivers before installing your new card?

P4 Celeron Tualatin Socket mPGA-478 2.0Ghz

There it is... the P4 Celeron is a very slow processor performance
wise. Because it has a 128kb cache.

The P4 chipset can't have tomuch cache... and how more it has..how
better it can function.

But the Celerons still only have 128kb and thus have no balls...
well.. they basicly have no balls. So any performance the P4 core self
can get... gets blocked by the way to small cache.

What will help..and actually the only thing that will help..is to
upgrade to a real P4

I got a P4 2,0Ghz with 512kb cache, and it rocks... fast in everything
it needs to be fast in.

Even durons with 256kb cache ( okay they are AMD so less dependant on
cache ) go faster as the 128kb cache celerons alike!

So basicly...upgrade your cpu and make of the celeron a nice keychain.
More it aint worthy into.

I Would have to agree that the Celeron is slowing your computer down.
