help with gtx 360

[Anthony25368 5]

i am having lots of trouble with the nividia gtx360, I am getting blurries and frame rates of aboout 12- 13. I have a gateway 4200 dx my old video card seemed to work better. Just wondering if there is a set of drivers that I'm missing that might help. I'm currently using the 182.50 drivers. Any help would be great. I have read most of the forum posts about how to tweak the fs9.cfg. and have tried most. I just don't think I'm getting the performance I should be.ThanksanthonySorry I meant the gtx260. thanks

Blurry textures and low FPS is more likely to be a function of low CPU performance. What CPU do you have and what is its clockspeed?

[Anthony25368 5]

Thanks for the reply. I'm running an AMD Phenom Quad Core 1.80 Ghz, 4 Gb ram.

Thanks for the reply. I'm running an AMD Phenom Quad Core 1.80 Ghz, 4 Gb ram.

A GTX 260 in that rig? Put it back in the bubble wrap and put the old card back in until you get at least 3-4 Ghz out of your new processor. KJ

Is that an original Phenom? If so I'd recommend replacing it with a Phenom II, assuming your motherboard has an AM2+ socket and can handle the 125-140W TDP of the top SKU Phenom II chips. A 1.8GHz Phenom is dog slow.

Thanks for the help. It looks like I'm going to have to take my computer somewhere to see if I can upgrade.
