Upgrading Onboard vid card help.

rabzdguy · 10-14-2006, 05:05 AM

Ive chosen to install a new vid card on my pc. I have disabled the onboard vid from windoes, and installed the new vid card/driver(catalyst). It does recognise the new vid card and all. Now when i restarted my pc..the display had these kinda lines in them, sort of lookes like matrix. I tried running WoW..i noticed the game play was alot smoother..but the actual graphics looked very bugged up..so basically couldnt play at all. The same effect happens on all games i play..smoother..but graphical problems. Just wanted to know what is causing these problems..and how i can fix this.

Im wondering if it may be my motherboard..it probably wont support the new vid card. Or am i just missing something else when i disable onboard graphics from windoes?

Thanks

Sounds like it could be artifacts. What video card do you have and what's the temp of it?

Vid card is Ati Radeon 9550..not too sure about the temp. Although i did feel around the vid card/ram area..and it did feel pretty warm. I put in another fan facing the ram..and still gets warm.
