i dont think that thing ever overheated dude

Yea maybe it didn't. But I'd like to know why it suddenly decided to start becoming crap.

take off SA 100x drawdistance mod and put visual effects to low and anti alising to none

Turtle Dick · « **Reply #17 on:** October 04, 2006, 02:13:16 PM »

That's the first thing I did.
Before that I had no problems running the 10x draw distance with visual fx at Very High. Now it's lagging without the 10x and with every setting at its lowest (in 1024*768).

How is that gonna solve anything? Like I mentioned, I didn't install any new crap. I also think re-installing SA won't help at all since the fps also dropped in VC, so i THINK its my video card fucking up, and not my games.

Have any money to spare? We could help you pick out a new one

Turtle Dick · « **Reply #25 on:** October 05, 2006, 01:36:02 PM »

Thanks for the help, but I aint buying a new one.

Maxwell · « **Reply #26 on:** October 05, 2006, 02:54:47 PM »

turtle, your card is realy realy weak, i would buy a new one for about 150 for a midranged card in 1 month (when the new 8800's are commin)

the 7300 is like the 5950, realy poor in performance, its just new so it supports more

ya know 1 7600 will SMOKE 2 7300's and 7600 is the midrange card

Im thinking of getting a Geforce 7800 GS AGP8x in a few months, good choice? will it burnout like TD's

boxXx · « **Reply #28 on:** October 06, 2006, 07:01:55 AM »
