My friend swapped cards (see below). FPS dropped instead of increasing
(see
below).
I recommended he flash his BIOS and get latest drivers for everything.
I also think he needs a better power supply (see below).
Other ideas?

Game: Counterstrike
Old card: ATi 9600pro w/256 mb RAM was getting 99 fps
New card: nVidia 5950 Ultra w/256 mb RAM now getting 60 fps
Rest of system: Athlon 3200+, Asus mobo, 512 RAM, two hard drives, ****ty
sound card, nic card, 300 watt power supply

Thanks!

You may have 'VSYNC' turned on which is syncing to your monitor refresh rate
setting.

Worth checking.
