Your Athlon XP 2500 might be the bottleneck there. Your friends X850XT is still a very powerful card, and he probably gets better framerates because he has a better Processor.
thanks for advice i think it might be my processor as well i put my video card in another computer and we came to the conclusin that maybe i need a new PSU or Processor
