Hello all!

Well a few months ago I decided to buy a new graphics card for my aging comp. With limited AGP options, I settled on the 7600GS.It's been a huge improvement, no doubt about it, but I can't help but feel that it's performance in comparison to my old Nvidia Gfcorce4 MX is lacking. i simply expected more from it. With the 4 in FS9, I got 4-5 fps, but the 7600 I get 5-10. Not exactly stellar.  I was expecting something closer to 10-15 solid, or more.

But I can deal with that. More embarrassing for the 7600 is it's video performance.  With the same processor(P4, 2.4ghz), and same amount of RAM (2gb), the old card can play 720p video better than the 7600! What is up with that?!?! Is there any way to fix that? I already updated to the newest drivers.

I'd also like to know if this less-that-spectacular performance is normal for this line of cards. The reviews i read gave a much better impression than I'm getting.
 

AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE 3.6ghz, 4gb RAM, Palit GTX 460 1 gb, OCZ 750W, Windows 7 64bit
