Graphics Card Upgrade

[Fergal69]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm??????????????

got the same odd bits of graphics when not in CloD, but also when using desktop after coming out of CloD, but then they disapear.

Graphics on DCS A-10 simulator plays up also, ie. the ground has no details just a flat plain coloured patch that jumps between being ground & the plain patch - probably a compatability/confict problem.

Have the latest drivers for my Nvidia 9800GT after instaling Window 7 (64 bit), but I wonder if it's, as the box says, 'certified for windows vista' & 'compatable with windows 7'

Thanks for the advice on graphics cards guys - I'll let you know what I end up with, if I do get one, & let you know the outcome.

Going from 9800GT to GT610 is a HUGE downgrade. GT610 is couple of times slower than 9800GT. It has only 48 cuda cores and it is with 64 bit memory interface.
What is your display resolution? I guess that you have problem with drivers.
One year ago I played DCS A-10 with my old 4850 with only 512MB ram without any problems. I even played CloD, but with Effects set to LOW. With effects set to HIGH video card/driver crashed due lack of enough video memory.
My opinion is that with your current video card you can play CloD if you can solve the problem with drivers.

strange how my old 9800 card is better than the 610 seeing as it's 1gb smaller & using older memory.

Wish manufactuers would come up with a better system for numbering their cards!

Second figure usually tells card position in the product range. 1 < 8
1st figure tells only card generation/series. (Was reset after switching from 4 digits to 3 digits)
