EVGA GTX 480

**ZoranDaWicked** · 07-29-10, 05:30 PM

So I got this card as I posted late last week.

It has a program that's called EVGA Advanced Graphics tuning.. Core Clock, Shader Clock, Memory Clock, Fan speed.

I'm trying to get the best FPS that I can.

Can someone lend me a hand? I'll post my cpu info below as best I can.

Processor: AMD Athlon 64X2 Dual Core 6000+ 3.02ghz
Memory: 4gb
32-bit OS
Im running Vista ultimate.
Motherboard is an Asus I just dont know which model.

Any tricks you guys know with the NVIDIA control panel settings?

Thanks,
Chris

You really shouldnt have to touch any of the settings... That card is a beast in itself... Also, Im not a fan of overclocking either.

Unless you are willing to read up (a lot) on overclocking (increasing clock speeds) or have someone standing next to you who knows about it, I would suggest leaving it alone. Lest you blow up your video card before you get to use it.

Yea..I changed nothing. ON BC2 my fps is about 22-30 most of the time, id like that to be better. In bf2 its 98 which was really nice...used to be like 60.

Just trying to figure out how to get more fps in bc2. settings in both games are maxed and my res is 1920x1080.

I can't read and have no friends

Your CPU is the bottleneck in BC2

all of the frostbite engine physics are done on the CPU. Sorry to say it but you might have just put a spoiler on a stock Honda civic.

Hannibal is right, however, if you had read my NVidia Article on TTP, then you would know what to do in the NVidia control panel :P
Add me on steam and I'll help you out.

Save the card for later, it will age well (prolly a good 4-5 years) and upgrade to a quad core when you have the money (probably 100-150$).
If you want an i7 (6 cores) you'll have to shell out a good 200+ dollars.
