You won't find a comparable retail offering of a PC that can game like a 360/PS3. @Gnizmo It could be your quad core that is helping, but still the test system from the benchmarks I saw were even higher than your specs. I'm not saying it's impossible, it just seems unlikely given what I have seen so far. You could very well be getting FPS in the 20's and not notice it too much. Fraps as far as I've ever used hasn't been much of a resource whore. Regardless of the outcome I'll believe you. Oh, was your card 512mb or 256mb? Because the benchmark I saw used a 256mb card, so if yours is 512mb, that could explain a lot  |
Its a 512 256 bit card. It is the high end of the 3800 series as I recall which probably skews the results. As for FRAPS, well it more or less confirms my story. Indoors on high I get 55-60 FPS. Outside its closer to 50-60 and dips as low as 40 ifI start chucking a lot of grenades and land mines. This is with 4X AA and 8X AF (remembered wrong earlier). Ultra I might test later, but outside I was definitely getting drops to at least 20 if not below.
Edit: It is the 3870 not the 3850. My mistake.
