Just had to replace my Ati HD4890(which was only 1-2 years old) because of the cable of my fan on my graphics card which kept stopping my fan from working(internal).

When browsing the forums I read that this is a common problem with XFX(who knew...) and that you have to open up your graphics card and re-arrange your cable every month after that problem starts occurring!

So I ordered a new one cause I'm not in the mood to open it up every month. Just got in the mail today, my new card is a AMD HD6870 from Saphire. Looks to be a good card, better than my old one  Smiley.

Only 62? There must be something wrong... Crazysmile1
at 1080p, even if you force anti aliasing in the graphics drivers, you should get something with 3 digits. Blocked fps to 60 or v synch?

Dont know if its blocked to 60. What would you think that my fps would be on? My fps is exactly the same when I turn on v synch

V-Sync makes sure your FPS is equal to the refresh rate of your monitor(in most cases refresh rate is 60Hz, so 60 FPS capped).
It's best to turn this off when your fps gets lower then 60 or it will slow your PC way down because it's trying to get back to 60.
This is to prevent screen tearing during gaming(usually happens during cut scenes).

I always turn this off unless I see screen tearing happening(which only happens a few times: GTA IV for example). It's not turned on for me in UT3, never seen screen tearing in UT3 Smiley.

Then it has to be something else, I have v-synch off but the fps is still the same, doesn't matter if I turn down the resolution as low as 800x600, still 60 fps

UTEngine.ini bSmoothFrameRate=False

Or set the maximum you wish to have (to avoid problems with too many ticks in UT3): maxsmoothedframerate=120

Now get a 120 hz monitor or 100 hz and then... enjoy :)

Wondering if that actually makes a difference, having a higher refreshrate.
With my montitor the max is 60Hz on my resolution(1680x1050).

Also think my fps is a bit too low for the specs I have(I run the game on maximum):
Sapphire AMD HD6870 1GB
AMD Phenom x4 965 @ 3,4GHz
4GB DDR3 1600MHz

The max fps I get is about 100(when looking to the floor it goes up to 150) and I get drops to 40 sometimes :/, I have no fps limit set up in UT3(no limit, no smoothing, no v-sync).

Bad drivers maybe? Maybe the drivers of my old card weren't completely removed and it's causing trouble?

Lol decided to take it to test and lower my settings to the lowest setting possible.
It doesn't change my fps at all, it remains the same in all places, still have the fps drops to 40...

Officially stumped.
