Why is my geforce 9500gt video card faster than my geforce gts450 video card?

they both have 1gb of video ram ddr2 for the 9500 and ddr5 or the gts450. i tried them both in my hp media center pc with a pentium D 3.0 ghz dual core processor and 3 gb or ddr2 pc4200 ram. and a 7200rpm hard drive. and the 9500 gets 30fps in crysis while the gts450 only gets like 23fps? can anyone explain this? the gts450 has nearly twice the clock speed and memory speed than the 9500 yet it runs slower? any help would be appreciated thank you! :o)|||Is Crysis the only game this is happening in?



It's possible your computer's power supply is below the requirements for the GTS 450 so it's automatically throttling itself WAY down... do you have the 6-pin power plug connected? Did you completely uninstall the 9500GT software before installing the GTS 450? It's also possible that with the GTS 450 present, Crysis is running at higher detail or resolution, or enabling features like AA or AF.



These shouldn't even be close, your 9500GT is slightly slower than a Radeon 4650 while the GTS 450 is slightly faster than a Radeon 5750. Those cards 3 performance tiers apart. The real question is how your 9500GT was able to score so high in the first place.

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphic…|||the 9500 may seem faster, but only because it is runing in DX9, the GTS 450 is much faster but needs DX11. The true bottleneck in your system is your processor, which is extremely outdated, and will not help extract performance from recent video cards like the GTS 450|||Are your drivers up to date?



Also your CPU's probably holding you back. Pentium D is pretty slow nowadays, and even a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo can probably beat it.
