So, I've always been questioning whether it was a good call or not to buy a 9800 gx2, now i'm mad though. Let me explain...
Fall out 3 - 60 fps vsync on smooth
Oblivion - 30 to 40 fps vsync or off always choppy (wtf)
Devil May cry 4 - 150 fps and higher always, with vsync on always 60
Left 4 Dead - 60 fps but randomly to 40, very annoying.
UT3 - 30-40 (Really, WTF) So I'm SUPER happy with performance on a lot of games, but then on others it makes me extremely mad. Any game using the unreal engine seems basically unplayable. But I play Grid, Pure, Lost planet, Dead Space, Cod4, etc. PERFECTLY. Anyone have any suggestions?

It's been a while since 9600's came out. If you can find two for under 175-200 get them. I'm sure you know about SLI or better yet buy one 8800gt and you will be good just on that. What ur bugdet?

Well I'm not -buying- any new gpu's, I'm sticking with the 9800 gx2 but I'm positive there's a way to tweak it and improve performance, mostly because every benchmark I've seen says ut3 is supposed to be getting 130 fps, not 40.

I meant 9800's. But um wat ur bugdet? Also don't forget theres overclocking which for new cards isn't dangerous most shut off before getting to hot. Also RAM, a bad comp can bottleneck a uber card to

Do you have the latest drivers? If so you could try the beta ones and see if you have any luck.
Also maybe it's anti-aliasing issues. Try disabling the in-game anti-aliasing and enable it from the nvidia control panel.

yeah don't forget drivers, I use to own a 512 8800GT evga superclock, it gave ok fps on quake wars. Unreal engines are hard in cards. Ut2k4 engine felt so optimized. If I was u ill just oc cards more.
