Did you run a driver cleaner program after uninstalling your old card and before installing this one?

Post up some scores of 3dmark, FPS's from a couple of benchmarks so we can see if the performance is out of line.

There is your problem:

i7 920 2.67GHz, 2.66GHz
3,00 GB ram
Windows vista 32-bit


You have too much ram!

I know you were making a funny, but on a serious note, quite a few european countries use ',' to denote a decimal place rather than '.'

Here is one benchmark guys.
from heaven demo i have
FPS:56.6
SCORES:1426
Render:direct3d11
mode:1920x1080 full screen
shaders:high
textures:high
filter:trillinear
Anistrophy:4x
Occlusion:enabled
Refraction:enabled
Volumetric:enabled
I don't have the new 8.7 drivers cause my games crash and it says
"driver stopped responding amdkmdap and has recovered"

Having a quick check at the performance of LR's 5970 review, it appears to be in-line with the performance you are seeing:

Yes you are right but still:(
imagine that i have the 8.68 WHQL drivers installed with catalyst 10.2 and not the latest drivers cause i have some weird problems:(
anyways
thank you all so much

[DMB2000uk]

Try re-installing your graphics drivers once more, but run driver sweeper in safe mode straight after you uninstall them. Then reboot into normal windows and run the latest installer.

I have heard that driver sweeper produces problems and i am kinda scared to try it!
I have done anything ati asked with express uninstall from the programs(add/remove), then reboot, then again the same if anything has remained but usually
not and then i install the latest drivers and then reboot again but my games always crash and in the benchmark i get lower fps

[DMB2000uk]

Well if you're having problems with installing the drivers anyway, what do you have to lose?

Dan

[Andypandy]

You are probably right but the thing is i spent 600 euro on this graphic card and i dont want money to be wasted cause of some drivers!
I will w8 for 10.3 to come out in 2 days and then i will give it a shot

[Andypandy]

Also i did a benchmark with the exact same settings from the link you gave me and i had 20 FPS:(
shiiiiit

damnit, now i feel bad.

You might want to make sure that crossfire is enabled.

To completely understand your case, i'd probably have to know a little more about your system to make a good guess.

3GBs of ram might not be enough for your system, I don't know what type of HDD set up you have. Your 2.77 MHz proc could be overclocked to higher speeds therefore gaining higher results in many tests.

But then again its hard to say because i don't know the full extent of your system.

If i were to have spent 600 on one piece of computer hardware, i would've tried to do some homework first. Maybe check out LR's review of the card and compare their test set up with yours to see what you may be lacking in order to achieve their same results if not close to them.
