The frame rate isn't improving, at all. I deleted the drivers, installed new ones, reinstalled the new ones, reinstalled the new ones again. Disabled all programs at startup. Checked for viruses, deleted a few trojans, deleted all adware. No change. Getting 20-15fps in WoW, Should be around 70. Have cable internet so its not lag. Would reformatting my C drive help? I don't know what to do anymore, Private message me if you like.

How many W's is your PSU? bokman Posted at 9:25 am on Nov. 5, 2006 Quote: from Zw33K3RB0Y at 12:25 pm on Oct. 28, 2006 No, it's just that ATI cards aren't the best for gaming. nVidia is best for gaming.

Download the newest ATI catalyst drivers and uninstall all the video drivers on device manager, restart, and install Catalyst.  If nothing else works, I would just format my computer, that video card's pretty expensive Ayien Posted at 12:24 pm on Oct. 30, 2006 Quote: from Technic at 8:18 am on Oct. 28, 2006 Specs- Intel Pent.4 3.00GHz x1600pro 512mb DDR2 AGP 1.5gig RAM Some Sound Card Just got the new card, changed from my geforce 6200 128mb.

If so, you should see if there is a patch or something along those lines that may help with this. Or, as others have said, you could be demanding too much out of the card and you may need too tone down the resolution and graphics settings. In-game settings as well. Good luck.

Same- these can make a huge difference, as well as how many people are in the area of the game your currently in.
