Hi guys,
i recently bought an 8500GT online and installed it into my system, installed new drivers, booted, and it started to work, however i have had 2 issues within an hour now. First of all, when i booted the second time it said that my card was running in x1 instead of x16, i THINK i have solved this now with simple re-seating, however i have a second problem. I tried to play NWN2 today and the frame rate is DREADFUL, MUCH WORSE than the card i had in their previously. My old card was an ati Radeon x1600XT 256mb DDR, and my new(er) one is the Nvidia 8500GT 512MB ddr2. im running xp with 3.0ghz and 305w psu.
i used gpu-z and it gave very strange results, it says that my card is only 128mb, not 512, the card has 512 stickered onto it and everything, im very confused.
any ideas?
