New Video Card and Still LOW FPS, WTF!

[murcielagotr]

If you are planning to overclock,

Get a P67 motherboard, I believe the H67 will not allow overclocking. I may be wrong here, but believe that is correct

Good luck in your upgrade!!!!

u r right i need P67,

@BFG10K

i forgot to install chipset drivers, i feel dumb a little but i was thinkin windows 7 handling it for me? i dont see any yellow or red x in device manager but i will try to install to be SURE.

and the test you mentioned is really interesting, 2120 get my attention... maybe i would save money for ivy, and get cheap 2120 for summer games

@tweakboy there is a summer holiday before ivy comes out, so i want to play in my holiday. but i will tryto buy an motherboard that can support ivy cpus

@flexcore when z68 comin?

thx for sharing info

in all honesty the only upgrade path i could see for you would be a 2500k with a really cheap motherboard and budget ram. There is really nothing else to even consider so enjoy the games you have now until you save some money and upgrade.

@dahak
@load81

what games can you suggest me for good graphics?

 

[themodernlife]

i would play any valve source engine games as they are designed to run on virtually all configurations at high settings.

it will support ivy, right??

[flexcore]

HardOCP has a link for boards on sale in China already. I hear May 8th for Z68 here in the USA.

@ murcielagotr

I have played Mass Effect 2, fallout 3, fallout nv, lotro, darkspore beta, all fine with no issues. I usually have everything in high/ultra with turning down shadows and the aa to a medium level

You are correct. The P67 is overclockable but does not take advantage of the on-die GPU offered by Sandy Bridge CPU's. You therefore will need your own graphics solution either on the motherboard or (more likely) a discrete graphics card for gaming. The H67 is NOT overclockable but does let (not require that) you use the on-die GPU...which is fine for typical home office/movie use but not good enough for gaming. The Z67 is supposed to offer both abilities I believe.
