    hi all im having trouble running jane nash on anything other than entry level in 3dmark vantage = getting about 60fps

    when i goto performance mode im getting 8fps

    any idea whats up or are the cards just noo good

    im right in thinking that performance mode is what everybody else is running is this right.

    Reinstall your drivers. You should be getting anywhere from 10-30 fps dependant on whats going on. On my machine it varies from about 14-30fps.

    yup. your cpu is holding you back big time.
    also what drivers do you have enabled.
    also make sure AI is enabled.
    also are you sure both drivers are installed correctly?

    Yeah but the cpu score is normal for that proc. Not so sure about that gpu score. Your 3870s did better right don?

    also your cpu is holding you back. you need to overclock it to 2.4ghz or higher using setfsb

    There really are no programs that can up the voltage sadly. Wish there were though :(.. That stuff is hardcoded in the bios .
