Okay guys I just baught a MSI Neo2f board and a Athlon 64 3000(1.8)processor. All my games I have to turn down almost all visual effects to get decent frame rates. And that sucks cause A few months ago a baught a Nvidia 6800 GT. I knew right away it was my processor and Motherboard. My old board is a ECS K7S5A and a Athlon XP 2100(1.7). Do you think I will get better frame rates and put up my visual settings to maybe high? Plus I do plan on overclocking it to maybe a 2.3. What do you guys think?
MSI has been know for flacky boards, you're not alone there dude. You can try getting the latest drivers (more the mobo bios and gfx card) but I doubt that would solve anything. AGP 4x would slow you down a fair amount but you should still get decent fps I would imagine. I'd personally suggest anything from Gigabyte, ABIT, or ASUS, to my knowledge they make great boards, I've had a very good experience with Gigabytes K8NS-939 board, so you can always concider that if you find the mobo can't be helped.
