fps still sucks

[yhuipaul]

hello everybody i have recently just purchased an XFX Radeon 6950 2GB(unmodded so far) and was hoping to obliterate the frame rates in D2, but to all end i cant get past 25fps. so my question: is there a frame rate cap in this game or are the cards so advanced that the drivers suck for this game? and before you ask its not the rest of my system being the roadblock. i also got these frame rates on my old system so i know something is up.

system: new (some pieces are old though)
cpu: amd phenom x4 9650 @2.47ghz
gpu: XFX radeon 6950 2GB(ddr5) @800core/1250mem
ram: 8GB(ddr2) corsair pc6400 @800mhz
hdd: 60GB OCZ Agility(os) ssd + 1TB western digital caviar black(storage) @7200rpm
os: windows 7 x64 home premium

system: old
cpu: pentium 4 @2.8ghz
gpu: nvidia geforce mx4000 128mb(ddr) @250core/400mem (ran off a pci slot)
ram: 256mb(ddr) pc2700 @333mhz
hdd: maxor 80gb @5400rpm
os: windows xp 32bit home premium

No the Game has no FPS Cap, i don't know why the game runs so slow @ your pc. (Maybe CPU?!)
Are the drivers installed correctly?? & Maybe drivers from old gc deinstalled correctly??

On My System the game runs with ~150 fps @ fullhd + highest settings

For comparison, heres my system:

cpu: core i5 2500k (OC @ 4x 4,3ghz)
gpu: geforce 560gtx ti (OC @ 900/4200)
ram: 8gb ram (very slow^^, cheap ram for 25€ :'DD)
os: w7 x64

For a better overview, you might want to upload your windows benchmark results, and maybe the actual 3dmark results

Are there any other programs running that may cause problems, such as security software, defrag tools, anything providing an overlay (fraps, xfire, etcpp) ?
Do you have the newest Updates (including windows service pack and all kind of drivers) ?
