I just upgraded from a nividia 7950 to an 8500 that is clocked faster has more ram yet my performance went down why?|||The Nvidia 7950 series cards are the high end of Directx9 supporting Nvidia cards. 8500 is the low end of Directx10 supporting cards. It is quite normal for 7950 to outperform a 8500 card (especially if it's a 7950 GX2 - dual GPU card)
You should buy a 8800 series card.|||The 7950 is a dual graphics card the 8500 is a single your going to see the drop in performance in fact it should be fairly drastic.|||I'm sorry but you didn't upgrade you just downgraded.
The reason for the perfomance drop is the difference in bus speed,memory bandwith and shaders.
If you wanted to upgrade you should have whent with at least an 8800GT.
