Title: Gigabyte Nvidia 8800 GT: GV-NX88T512HP
Post by: davidfo on January 19, 2008, 12:37:00 PM
Hi,

Tried this card from my mates PC last night, after ordering it from Tekheads on next day delivery.

Expecting huge differences from my 8500 GT, but for some reason it was slower??

The Vista  Grpahics rating droped from 5.0 to 3.0 and COD 4, seemed slower than my Inno3d 8500 GT, on 1024x768.

I am so dissapointed that I didnt even open the package and have asked Tekheads for a return.

I am using the latest Nvidia V 7.15.11.6925 driver, anyone have any good experience with this card?

David.

Sounds as though either there is a problem with the card or some kind of driver issue. Did you remove the old drivers properly (Remove, reboot, run drivercleaning software, reboot) before powering off and installing the new card? You should make a habit of this even if you are installing cards from the same manufacturer or all sorts of gremlins can creep in. If you havent given this a go Id suggest trying it before you return the card as there may be no need to.

Welcome to the forums davidfo.

So the one you purchased from us you have not yet tried?

You are using your friends one that i assume performs well on his machine?

Worth trying what Chris H suggests if it is working fine on his machine.
