So I recently upgraded my old 6800 Vanilla to a brand new 8800GTS 320MB by eVGA. I expected to see a huge increase performance and image wise across all my games. I was surprised to see that in Counterstrike Source, my FPS still stayed the same at around 45-70 FPS. Guild Wars increased only slightly, LoTR: Online Beta gets only around 20fps in the towns with 8x AA and settings on Ultra High. Dark Messiah gets 20-30FPS average. All games run at 1280 x 1024 and every setting is turned to the max. I was even more shocked to see that the autodetect/reccomended settings for each game was LOWER than the reccomended settings when I had my 6800 in. (Example in CS under advanced options). What is going on? Should I be worried or is it just premature drivers (97.92) that nVidia has to work on? Am I expecting too much?
