game prob after upgrade
After loading a game it starts out choppy and pauses etc a couple of times
then later its ok. Most 3d games do it. Someone said to replace power supply. My 7600gt worked fine awsome card but now 7900gto not so good. Anything wrong with my hardware setup? thanks System: amd 3200+ @2.2 1gb pc3200 ram @2338 xfinity 500w dual rail 16/ 18 amp nv8 abit nforce 4 evga 7900gto Thought of getting a better supply that shares power from 3 12 v rails W@ |

Even though they both use the same driver, you should still start clean on a new card. What driver are you using? Let me guess - you jumped on the 7900GTO deals going around - I did too , went from a 6800 Ultra. Kendt |

yes but there is the power supply dilemma of 12 volt rails and what amps are
on them etc. so I bought a $160 power supply even though mine works, no more $40 rebates. I found 2 for around 120 that would have been ok. Darn gamming rigs. " wrote in message ups.com...

Sometimes my machine stutters a bit when a level first opens. I usually stand in one place a moment, briefly pan around in all directions to sort of "get a look at everything". This seems to get the immediate surroundings tucked into memory, and things are usually smooth after that. Seems to happen to me when I'm trying to "do too much" with my video card... /shrug S-M |
