If I was on a computer I'd look up tweaks and optimization for ut3 for you. I'm on my instinct so I can't do much. Don't seem much more you can do with the 9800's, u can try ocing ur Proc or RAM.

Yeah, think about overclocking that RAM and processor a little. The cards more to and if your on vista turn off the bells and whistles. Vista is known to bottleneck systems compared to WinXP

lol could be. WinXP is just so nicely optimized now. That why people who are gamers often dislike it.

Assuming you left out some zeroes for Fallout 3 and Devil May Cry, there seems nothing wrong with those frame rates to me, assuming you are running at a reasonably high resolution. If you did not miss out the zeroes, and it really is 3 and 4 fps respectively, then that is a problem.

Using Vista might explain it, having antialiasing on in the graphics card settings might cause some problems.

Also, what screen resolution are you using?

And another afterthought, do you notice the any problems if you hide the frame rate so that you cant see what it is running at?

No I meant l4d and fallout 3 have amazing performance, while older games get terrible fps. I run all these games max (changing the settings really rarely gives any increase in performance) and resolution at 1280X1024 but max res is 1680X1050.
