I am experiencing bad framerate using the powercolor x1950 pro AC2
Things I’ve done:
-
Tried old ATI drivers recommended with the box given
-
Tried ATI catalyst 8.1
-
Rebuilt OS just encase of old drivers conflicting
-
checked if all fans are working. All are
-
checked hardrive. All seemed fine
-
Got a new powersuply. An Arctic 600w with plenty of Amps on the rails
-
Most drivers are up-to-date with the system .
System specs:
Intel pentium D 3.2ghz
Maxtor 7200rpm 150gb
2gb pc5300 memory
ASus P5VD2-MX SE motherboard
I’m currently using OMEGA drivers. They seem to have gotten rid of the choppiness, but the terrible frames remain.
I’ve done CPUz and i have found out that my <Link hidden. Register for free to see this link!> seems to be going from 2.4ghz to 3.2ghz continuously. I have purchased paste for my heatsink and will clean that & reattach it later on.
Games i play really do suck in frames. I’ve tested IL2 sturmovik and Oblivion and both are very similar in frames. If i lower the settings i get a boost of maybe 4 frames 
which are normally 14-20 frames MAX, but if i face a wall i get about 60
resolution : 1024 x 768
If you require more information, I’ll be happy to add more details if necessary .
PS. I’ve RMA they old card for a new one and the problem still persists. My guess that it might be CPU or motherboard related. Also, i have no sorts of malware, viruses on my system 
Thanks for reading
