-- Posted by NEGATIVE0 at 3:49 am on Sep. 3, 2008 i upgraded my vid card from an GF 7600gt to an 8800 gts 320mb, and threw in another stick of ram for a total of 2 gigs, and now i get less fps in games i used to get wicked fps in. in tf2, any movement causes the framerate to drop somewhere between 15-20 fps. in battlefield 2142, i could run it on high on the 7600gt, but get around 20fps with the 1gig of ram, and now with the new setup, i can't even run the game on medium. wtffff. i've tried loads of different drivers, and still nothing. -- Posted by blufindr at 3:51 am on Sep. 3, 2008 Maybe your motherboard doesn't like the new stuff? -- Posted by NEGATIVE0 at 3:53 am on Sep. 3, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 7:51 am on Sep. 3, 2008 Maybe your motherboard doesn't like the new stuff? ... why wouldn't it? it's not as if they have a relationship. the video card just uses the motherboard for it's ports. doesn't sound very healthy to me. -- Posted by blufindr at 3:55 am on Sep. 3, 2008 Quote: from negative0 at 8:53 pm on Sep. 3, 2008 ... why wouldn't it? it's not as if they have a relationship. the video card just uses the motherboard for it's ports. doesn't sound very healthy to me. I dunno. Sounds odd <-- does not muck around with her computer's internals. -- Posted by rawrr at 3:58 am on Sep. 3, 2008 Have you updated your drivers? try that. -- Posted by Jay JWLH at 4:05 am on Sep. 3, 2008 Are there any bottlenecks in performance? -- Posted by NEGATIVE0 at 4:25 am on Sep. 3, 2008 Quote: from rawrr at 7:58 am on Sep. 3, 2008 Have you updated your drivers? try that.

Otherwise it'll be running in safe mode. -- Posted by NEGATIVE0 at 3:36 am on Sep. 7, 2008 Quote: from Dickij03 at 12:28 am on Sep. 7, 2008 Have you plugged in the 6-pin power connector into the 8800gts320mb?
