My System

Re: does crysis drain RAM?

Hi,

What model is your Athlon64 X2?

650W is not enough to be running a 9800 on. I have a single 8800, and I use an 850W. Click on "Power Supply Info" in my signature, and have a read. The thread also has links to PSU's in the right range for your system. Not providing enough power to your video card is basically like holding it back with a leash. It's trying to give you its best, but you're not letting it run - it could be the cause of your problems.

In addition though, please click on "Common Game Issues" in my signature, and run through all the steps listed there.
