System not performing up to specs

by csbug1337 . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

Hey guys, I’m having serious issues with my system. I have an XPS710 with a
2.66GHz duo core
4GB of ram
Windows Vista 32bit
Nvidia 8800GTX (756mb) video card

And I have the latest drivers and software, but I can’t run a lot of games even though I should. For example, I’m trying to run Unreal Tournament 3, and I far surpass the requirements, but running it on the bare minumum settings experience framerate issues and on maximum settings, it’s sort of like a slideshow.

I’ve called tech support numerous times and I’ve done factory image restores, driver updates, hardware diagnostics, but they still haven’t found out what’s wrong with my system. What can I do?

It’s kind of depressing when a $300 console (Xbox360) can perform better than my $3000 gaming rig.
