No your power supply does not have >30A on the +12v rail. You have a dual rail PSU and you cannot just add up the ratings like that. That card supposedly wants at least 22A on the +12v rail and your rails only provide 17A and 19A.

I think you might just have gotten a bit too technical for him there.
You have to perhaps start with suggestions like 'Switching On Your Computer, a How-To Guide'.
Seriously, go find another forum to whine on. Apparently you have no respect for others, so i doubt you will find further help here. The only responses you should expect from now are flaming ones, which you richly deserve.

This thread is nothing if not an amusing adventure of the comedy of language barriers. In this case, it's the language barrier of technology and a noob.

This shows that your System is CPU/Mobo limited from bad drivers or low cpu speed it has nothing to do with you Video card. To test your GPU you put the game on Max Settings .To test your CPU you put your Game on Lowest Settings. In math it?s called isolating the variables same thing with bench marking.
I don't get it. He's ignoring the one solution that MIGHT solve the problem.
Try some modified drivers like Warcats or Omega Drivers.

At this point you should probably pay someone (who you know is good) to do it.
(or just try out the damn Warcat's or Omega's)

i dunno why everyone keeps recommending modified drivers. even if there are avail. improvments, the std ati drivers should work fine, and if they don't, it would indicate some other software/hardware issue which is not going to be resolved simply by installing modified drivers.
std ati drivers simply should not have the problems he is describing.

lower resolutions tend to stress the CPU and mobo more, and unload the video card. at lower resolutions there isn't as much graphics processing to do, so the video card is far more likely to be waiting for the CPU than the other way around.

It's most likely his sound card. I bet if he removed the card just for a bit, the stuttering would stop. He is most likely using very old or incorrect drivers for the creative card he has. I've seen this about a dozen times. Sound card driver trying to take a memory address that already belongs to another piece of hardware, because it's too "stupid" to find a memory address that is unused or free. Either a memory address or interupt.
Not sure if sound cards still utilize DMA, but that could be the issue.

Seems like you're the one who's incompetent since you can't even get your X1900XTX to run FEAR properly
The problem lies between the chair and the computer
Are you serious about the sound card?
I will go to some one who really knows all this tuff, probably on Tuesday.

lol.
my x800gt run fear well (avg fps 50 min 30 max 70 tested under graps and the built in checker) at medium-high at 800x600 and the x1900xt is atleast 8 times faster than my card.

bump-bump-clap, bump-bump-clap, we will, we will, rock you! <-- Thinking Knights Tale here, my favorite part of the movie...
Sound card, maybe. Power supply, very possible. Slow operator, assuredly.
:laugh:
i'm bored lets continue this thread. PICs of card & OP stating "this card is broken" or "XTX is smarter than me"
LOL at just get a dell =]

QFT. I upgraded from an X800GTO to a X1900XT. Set res to 1280x1024, slide everything to max => makes a lazy man

Oh yea, definately sound card, sound cards cause so much graphics problems these days its unbelieveable! Also maybe you havent tried this, but poor performance can be caused by mildew on your CPU, take it out and use some Mr Muscle Itll sort out that mildew!
There could also be any number of things living within your case, things in general cause poor performance, kill them with some Raid Just spray your whole rig with a few cans of that, its nice and toxic, cant hurt.
upgrade the CPU to dualcore
stick with the RAM you have
flash your BIOS to the most recent stuff
reinstall the graphics drivers
make sure your graphics board is defective free, because of the extremes in manufacturing computer boards, it is no surprise to find one board out of many that isn't doing it's job right.
do understand that a demo is intended to test (overall or particular) system/software/hardware performance, and is thus, not a legit way to say your graphics card is not working properly because you are not seeing fluid frame rates. programming for a demo, is considered a "beta" of what actually is yet to be released and thus the best of work is not finalized by the creators as their QA team still has a lot of press forward on with programmers alike. however, if the demo is old, try getting a real copy of the software.
-one demo is simply not enough, you need to do something like 3Dmark and other graphics applications.
keep your options open, don't settle for one graphics card if you're an enthusiast, consider your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of gaming hardware and see which one you can hold onto for as long as money permits. obviously you want the most juice out of a product if that's what you spend your time doing, so if you aren't satisfied with the Radeon 1900 series, maybe you should take a look at something else (or into the future).
hardware is not limited to capacity of what it is all the time, but how well it can cope with the software that is being supported by it/for it (summarized from Anandtech.com).

Yup. As I said earlier, he needs to upgrade his crappy 3200+ or overclock it to 3500+ or 3600+ speeds since that's the most he'd probably get out of it on stock cooling. It's a bottleneck, pure and simple.
No it's really your fault, because my A8N-E with properly updated BIOS/nForce drivers and an old X800XL runs half the games you mentioned without stuttering at the lower resolutions you posted.
Obviously something's wrong elsewhere. Your results at lower resolutions proves it, since the GPU wouldn't even be breaking a sweat at 800x600.
Your memory and Solution Series PSU might be a nice place to start looking, in addition to the numerous valid suggestions list over the past umpteen pages.
Do us all a favor and send your X1900XTX to any of the numerous people who tried to help you, since it'd be a shame for it to go to waste in your hands. Then go out and pick a copy of "Computer Building for Idiots" at your local bookstore.
Thanks for the humor
I live in India. I contacted a person and he has suggested a solution, in case that doesn't work, I will visit him.
