Ther RAM is DDR3 what frequence?
Graphic card buy any one that is more than the HD5770.
If you really have money to spedn get a i7860.
With that everything should be good.

Try your specs with Windows XP 64bit & feel the deference, Trust me.. i got like 130 FPS with somehow near specs of your PC. my graphic card is Nvidia 9500GT 1G DDR2.

Is windows 7 better than xp for the fps?

EDIT: If you are buying an i7860 you will probally need a new mother board

What FPS are you shooting for?

ATI radon HD 3650 (only if you have HD screen) makes cross fire gameplay as smooth as a baby's bottom i now its not as high end as the other sugestions but it plays cross fire flawlesly
also i dont think the prosecer does much i have a 2.4ghz one and cross fire only uses 11-25% of my CPU.
also consider your software the problem. i run vista but i hear gamings better with windows 7 or microsoft XP

get a better processor. the graphics card won't help much with the fps. when you change to a better processor, you'll see the change in FPS.

I have to ask this first, what power supply are you running? Anyway here are two choices that would http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103644R, that would run CF fine and has 3x the L3 Cache which would = faster response time not to mention the higher clock speed.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103677 that has the same amount of cache as the one you have now but only 2 cores but is has a higher clock speed. I wouldn't get this one unless you can't spend that much on the first one. But seeing as CF only uses one core it would run the game faster than what you have now.

Thanks dude, I'll check out the first one and probably will get it. If anyone knows any better processors for under $150 tell me

The GTS250 is better than the 9800GT. I don't know why any of you are telling him to purchase a 9800.

Seeing as how you put that card in a prebuilt computer, the power supply probably isn't powering it up to the full extent. The 9400GT is a weak card and you should be getting triple if not double the frames with your GTS250 comparing to the 9400GT.

Yet again, the clock speed on your quad core is below average.

XP64 is a complete fail of an operating system, I highly recommend that nobody even consider using it. However, I do still love XP32.

Overkill computer

FPS fluctuates 50-120.
VS threat scanner is on, but only 4k Mem

Never really found a solution for this even in the old forums. Try again!

You got 1.80 GHz processor

If you look at the cf pc requipment page http://crossfire.z8games.com/downloads2.aspx

It says the recommended is 2.00 GHz.

So your video card doesn't play any role here, its your processor.

500W power supply, Im looking for suggestions on processors now that I know it's not my card :P

If you've got $200 to spend, the i5 750 is a great processor.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115215&cm_re=i5-_-19-115-215-_-Product

Good motherboard to go with it if needed.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128405&cm_re=p55m-ud2-_-13-128-405-_-Product

Using both at the moment, works great. :P

Anyone else that knows anything, should I save up for this (would it work with my current motherboard) or should I just go ahead and get the AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor?

First Post on forums*

Anyways, when I first read this, what stood out to me was your Proccessor, its not capable of running the game at optimal performance, you need something better. Also theres NO WAY your 9400 gt preformed the same as your 250 GTS, surely you've got some settings changed in their respective UI's.

Heres my suggestions:

-Buy a decent CPU, like this one (AMD Phenom II 1055T 6 cores)

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6052731&CatId=4432
- Also available at newegg.com

Very good as benchmarked here:

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

Press Ctrl + F and type 1055 and you'l be surprised at its rank compared to other suggestions. You could also easily overclock it to about 3.5ghz, but lets not get there yet.

With the combination of your card and this processor, you'l be able to run modern games on medium settings with very good fps.
