I think you're looking at the core speed which is 520MHz. There's core speed and a memory speed which is 1080MHz.

the card may not be supported well with that beta ATI tool your using.. try reloading the cats or that tool and look again?

mutiply the memory by 2 and that will give you the speed

You said its running at 520mhz and its DDR RAM, thats Double Data Rate, so its doing twice the work of regular SD RAM at 520mhz so its speed is 1040mhz.

Just like when you have your FSB at 200mhz yet have DDR RAM running at 400mhz.

hmm well all my friends have this card and they run bf2 on all high settings and i have to run everything on medium what could be the cause of that? also i tried to run systool to see if u were right but it says my mobo was not detected?

I'm running Dual 7900GTX's the mem speed should be over 1600 but its only showing like 840.. this is cause its DDR thus 840 is really 1680.. and you think well hell that should be doubled.. well the reader isn't going to show me it double even in SLI so its no big deal the speed is there!

Right click my computer, select properties, is it a pentium or a celeron?

What programs do you have running while you play BF2, whats in your system tray, are you running an anti virus scanner?

Also run adaware/spybot.

ScubaSteve3465 · Post by **ScubaSteve3465** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 10:14 pm

it says its a pentium(R) cpu 3.22 ghz with 1.00 gig of ram and i have bit defender anti virus sometimes aim a download manager incredimail and winamp agent but that shouldnt affect my fps should it?

YARDofSTUF · Post by **YARDofSTUF** » Sat Jun 10, 2006 10:44 pm

if the virus scanner is active it could, and if your downloading with the down load manger it might.

ScubaSteve3465 · Post by **ScubaSteve3465** » Sun Jun 11, 2006 3:02 pm

nope i never do either of those

YARDofSTUF · Post by **YARDofSTUF** » Sun Jun 11, 2006 3:18 pm

so you dont have bit defender using any kind of active protection?

ScubaSteve3465 · Post by **ScubaSteve3465** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 2:16 am

not while gaming

YARDofSTUF · Post by **YARDofSTUF** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 2:37 am

Then my only otehr thought to why they may be running at higher settings is that they are using a lower resolution.
