perhaps you could reflect a bit on why my new computer runs sc2 worse than my old comp? it's really strange, because most games run a lot better...

I ran some diagnostics with performancetest on both computers. So the new computer runs better on everything except memory read/write speeds and disk read/write speeds, and 2D graphics. But are these important for sc2? I couldn't imagine why...

I also thought maybe it was a temperature problem. Looks like the high temps are "tmpin2" also known as "power/aux temperature" (different monitoring software, different names) which is at 86 degrees after boot; and the gpu core temperature runs at ~80 deg (whether gaming or not). These seem to be on the verge of being too high... but not ridiculously high. I managed to increase the gpu fan speed setting from the catalyst control panel, but it doesn't actually increase the monitored fan speed (arg wtf). none of this, of course, explains why the new comp does run most games (except sc2) better.

so, at this point I'm at a loss as to what's the next thing to check, or the best path to upgrade. your thoughts?



In what situations is it running 'worse'?

If it's overall, let me know.


Specifically, it runs Starcraft II at lower framerates, on lowest settings, when there are many unit on screen or on the map. It CAN run decently (~30-40 fps) on the reccomended ultra settings, but only when there aren't that many units in the game (goes below 30 if say 50 units are on screen). Switching between ultra and lowest doesn't ever seem to make that huge a difference in fps - so I suspect it's not really the gpu's problem.

I went ahead and got heatsinks for the northbridge (86 deg) and gpu (80-85 deg), so we'll see what that does when they arrive. can't hurt, anyway. We'll also have to see what blizzard tech support ends up saying as well.
