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.

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.
