Proof: Something is wrong with ATI Drivers

Ever thought GPU-Z might not be entirely accurate and only has problems reading the values right? You can only say something is wrong when you get very different results in actual tests (3DMark, timedemos etc). Some 3DMark version also had problems reading 2D and 3D clocks right on GeForce 6 cards, yet results were always right when comparing score and framerates...

 

i know....

lol

That hole i said he had dug...

i think its nearing china right now...

 

I think he's already half way to Jupiter...

 

This thread is not crazy you are !!

People told you many times that it´s not the driver but your machine.
So stop complaining, buy a new one and see what you missed over the past years.

 

honestly it's like trying to play xbox360 games on the original atari and then blaming poor coding for the poor performance..


people here have given you great advice but you dont want to hear it.. :bang:

 

Especialy when PCs are THAT cheap currently.(you can acutaly buy decent rig for 400$, not something strong, but good enough to play games)

 

Don´t blame the driver blame your machine :rpg:

 

OMG this thread is awesome, I can't believe how blind the OP is... How can a P3 handle the requirements of a modern OS with modern games?! The PCI bus is slow as **** how can games have enough bandwidth to be played at a reasonable framerate. You realise that that Xbox has more processing power than your entire computer!?
This is ridiculous... go out and actually READ the reviews and you'll see that you can simply not use a crappy CPU with modern graphics cards, I sure as hell haven't ever seen a review where a gtx280 was combined with a Pentium... for a good reason.
God I'm finishing here because no doubt you'll read this and come up with another stupid reason to ignore me.

 

I can't wait to see the review. You are going into uncharted territories here General!

 

There are 5 pages of people explaining how he is wrong and he will still not listen....kind of amazing really

 

I admire the OP's calmness and stubbornness, too bad he's been drawing the wrong conclusions from the observations he made due to lack of technical knowledge. And it's really bad that he's blaming ATI of making bad drivers because of that

It has given us one heck of a jewel of a thread though, let's cherish it

 

Well I actually found a picture that sums this thread up pretty well




Yes, that's two pictures, because just like this thread it doesnt make any f%*king sense.

 

But it's funny as hell you got to admit that

 

Really it´s time to close this thread.
This guy is just unconvincible. And i guess he´ll be happy with his crappy computer for the next ten years. If he´s pleased with getting 10-15 fps in games then that´s okay for me.

 

Admin, can we please close this thread... and more importantly, ban this troll.

Thank you.

 

Nonono, wait until he reports back with the 8400GS results!

 

He is a connoisseur of budget cards so we might need him one day we never know

 

duuude, i bought my hd 4870 today and i got 3.6ghz intel p4 775 800fsb clocked at 889fsb 4ghz and even this processor is bottlenecking in some demanding cpu games such as c and c 3 and oblivion, believe me a new cpu makes all the difference depending on the games engine ofc, all u need to know is this: see ur cpu usage while ure playing if its 100% or close to that then it means u will not reach better performance even with 2 ati hd 4870x2, why im not changing mine? i dont feel like wasting money on a new mobo with new cpu, atm all latest games works awsome >75fps with maxed out graphics exept oblivion which is at 40fps and c and c which sometimes runs at 20... those are the only games that i didnt gain performance by switching the gfx card why? because cpu usage is at 100% at those games.
Hope this post helped u for now and in future
