I think the sales guy just told you a fat lie.. just to get you to buy the card. How much was it if you don't mind me asking.

As for making sure it runs to the fullest stock right now just make sure you have the latest drivers loaded.

try turning off some of the eye candy like dynamic lighting/shadows...RAM is super cheap these days and a RAM upgrade would help your performance also ... if you had integrated video before make sure it's turned off now ...

and restart css. this makes your game ugly as hell and turns down all the settings, but will give you a healthy FPS boost. make sure FSAA and Aniso are turned off, if all you want is better FPS.

Oh yeah they could.. he got sold on a lower end card when there are 8xxx series cards out that are prob cheaper and perform better plus DX10 ability.. everyone is dumping the old stock for new.

turn vsync off

Vomit07 · Post by **Vomit07** » Thu May 24, 2007 11:47 pm

Alright I appreciate the help But I have casey config already but I modifyed it. and HDR is off same a vsync is off

Vomit07 · Post by **Vomit07** » Thu May 24, 2007 11:50 pm

I the ati tool But Im too much of a noob at overclocking also when i set up my card all I did to was set it to high preformance and vsync off what should I do to the trilinair and anti-aliasing or whatever that is?

Sava700 · Post by **Sava700** » Fri May 25, 2007 12:01 am

you need to get ntune and run that or if your using a older driver get coolbits

but I don't recommend overclocking since you will not get by maybe a few more FPS than what you already have and may end up shortening the life of the card.

If I was you I'd take it back and get a 8600 if that card cost you around 180$

the 7600 is just outdated right now to push for looking higher FPS.

Ohh and like YOS said.. get more Ram!! its very cheap to get another 512 in that computer and 1gig is pretty much sub-standard today anyway.

We're talking about best buy here, their "upper end" cards are probably still 7900GTs...

Vomit07 · Post by **Vomit07** » Fri May 25, 2007 12:35 am

Yeah the card was 200 -_-

Vomit07 · Post by **Vomit07** » Fri May 25, 2007 12:36 am

Also I got coolbits now how do I use it?

200 bucks US? Take it back and tell them they were wrong, gave you shitty advice and sold you a worthless product, they have a 7950 on their website for 200 bucks. That would do much better.

no I'd take it back say the same thing and get your money back and go here
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814143105

it might be a little lower in ram but its a much better card plus its DX10 so it will last you for a while and allow you to play Crysis when it comes out with more eye candy

but you got ripped BestBuy guy sold you a card that was prob sittin on the shelf for a year and they needed to make room.

Grrrr, your motherboard have PCIe or AGP?

I am thinking your stuck with AGP looking at your specs.

Vomit07 · Post by **Vomit07** » Fri May 25, 2007 3:28 pm

Yeah I have AGP But my computer is a 2001 model I think I might get a new one my birthday is in a few weeks so Im getting money I might buy an alienware comp and get a nice GFX

Thanks for your help guys I apprciate it also my comp is running faster and smoother thanks to a nice defrag and disk clean up

Alienware is overpriced, if your not confident in building one yourself at least post a thread here so we can help you get the most for your money with a prebuilt one.
