Hi,

I just got a new desktop from pcspecialist with good specs.. however it runs call of duty black ops and bad company 2 less well than my previous 4 year old desktop.

does anyone have any ideas on what the problem is?

Godlike
Really silly question.

In the options for the games is it picking up the ATI card?
It could be running of the Sandy Birdge HD Graphics.

Long shot but first thing I thought of.

Other than that it is the usual make sure you have the latest drivers, is the ATI card showing in Device manager ok? (Right Click My Computer - Properties - Hardware - Device Manager)

Hope this helps!
