GIGABYTE-GA-P35-DS3R Mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 @ 3.44 GHz w/ Scythe Infinity HSF
4x1GB Crucial Ballastix PC2-6400 (DDR2-800) @ 4-5-5-8 430 MHz 2.0V
eVGA 8800GTS 320MB SC @ 610/970/1,580
WD 250GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache SATA HD
Sony CD/DVD IDE Combo Drive
Corsair HX 520W PSU
Vista Home Premium (32 Bit) and XP Home Edition (32 Bit) Dual Boot
3DMark06 - 11,300 (XP)
3DMark06 - 11,267 (Vista)
PC is completely clean and updated (Chipset/BIOS/Windows) and defragged for both OS's. Properly tested and stable. 24 Hours Orthos/Prime95 Blend and small FTT test/ 8 hours memtest 86 and ATI tool, 3DMark and Game stable.
XP - 163.71 WHQL
Vitsa - 169.09 "Recommended Driver for Crysis"
My maximum resolution is 1280x1024 so that is what I am using.
---------
1280x1024 - Very High Settings - Vista DX10 - No AA - 8XAF: 5-10 FPS
1280x1024 - High Settings - Vista DX10 - No AA - 8XAF: 15-20 FPS
1280x1024 - Very High Settings Hack - DX9 XP and Vista - No AA - 8XAF: 10-15 FPS
1280x1024 - High Settings - DX9 XP or Vista - No AA - 8XAF: 20-25 FPS *Only Semi-Playable Setting*
-----
I would of thought I could do DX10 with mix of high/very high settings with 20-30 fps especially @ 1280x1024 with no AA.
320MB seems fine for 1280x1024. According to Rivatuner Video Memory Monitoring it never went above 305MB unless I enabled AA with Very High settings in DX10.
169.09 does nothing over the 163.71 WHQL XP Drivers. DX9 performance is the same in Vista as XP.
What settings should I know about/tweak/turn down?
This seems low performance to me as I was expecting a bit more with a fairly high end PC.
