Now when playing Crysis I find that his computer generally runs at the same, or maybe even slightly higher FPS than mine. Especially noticed when settings are on HIGH with maybe 4x AA.
I dont get why this would be? My video card is one of the latest cards out with huge results in various reviews and benchmark tests smashing the 880GT in any comparisons. It even beats the newer GTX260 in a few cases.
So anyone know why I'm not getting the FPS the card is meant to be pulling?
Oh and also tested both machines in COD4 and with ALL the settings MAX we both average about 70FPS.....Crysis HD4870 vs 8800GT?
it's not the graphics card HD4870 (this is excellent), it's the weak processor E2160 that is the bottleneck (E2xxx is the budget series)
in my opinion this pair is a mismatch, you should upgrade the processor to an E8400.

best price/performance ratio.Crysis HD4870 vs 8800GT?
The first thing that comes to mind is that its your monitor or even the cables running to your monitor. He probably has both a higher quality monitor and higher quality cables.
I have a SLi 8800GTS and I run Crysis at about 70-72FPS on a 22 Apple Cinema Display.
His computer is also a bit faster then yours. He has a much faster processor and has slightly better memory. This might cause a slight delay between the computer and the display. Crysis HD4870 vs 8800GT?
crysis is a massively processor intense game. your processor is a major bottleneck on your video card. I would either upgrade or overclock the thing. Its an intel, they're known for their awesome overclocks, so you might as well try it, unless this was a pre-made computer which has the bios locked. Its not the graphics card at all because 8800GT SLI would get your roommate crazy high fps. Its your processor, trust me.
