Good point. I just assume everyone downloads the GTExperience app that auto-updates to the best (optimized) drivers for your games. Rastus, look for GTExperience.
F4 would not even launch on my 7950 card till I updated. I know there was a GTX driver issue they sorted rapidly as well.
It could be motherboard though. Throughput on the older chips might be an issue. But it confuses me that he had the issue day 1. I am leaning towards that being the case.
Yeah, I have GTExp. I think it’s required. It autoupdates when it wants to, or at least prompts me to update.
I put this computer together originally because I had waited so long for Duke Nukem Forever and was GOING to play it without any hardware issues. Yeah, game sucked. But, even with new components and a Radeon HD 6850, the game was stuttery. And that’s even if I bumped it down to low resolution and turned off effects. That points to some kind of inherent issue, but I don’t know enough to know what it would be, though the mobo, CPU and the memory are the only things I haven’t switched out since then.
