i upgraded the gpu on a really old comp.

removed the 8600 gts and upgraded it to a gts 450.


this is the following steps i did in order

1: installed latest nvidia drivers
2: removed 8600gts
3: installed gts 450
4: restarted comp
5: ran cpuz and it showed the gts 450 having really low clocks.

screen shoot of the cpuz at link above. i don't know why the clocks show my gts 450 running at

core: 50mhz
shaders: 101mhz
memory: 135 mhz


using version 1.56 of cpuz.

also the nvidi drivers i intalled and running is 260.99.

*sigh* *self face palm*

thank you Quiksilver.


also im testing the game black ops on the older comp and everytime i run FRAPS the frame rates drops like hell to 1-2 frames per second o.o. can the reason for this be that my cpu 4400+ can't run both the gts 450 and fraps at the same time since the cpu sucks and already bottlenecks the gts 450.

Those are idle clocks and black OPS has been having lots of lag issues. Its just not you.
