I am currently running the 6600GT card on a 250W PSU. It seems to be running
OK, but I have noticed a few issues. I would like to try to get some help in
identifying the what the solution to the problem is.
1. When playing back videos, especially streaming videos, to me, the image
quality does not seem to be very sharp
2. I have experimented with the video card settings and have encountered
problems while playing games. Specifically, I have used the card for FS 2004
and Rainbox Six 3: Raven Shield. During gameplay in both games, the game
would simply stop as if it was frozen. When trying to get to the task
manager, windows didn't want to display it. After about a minute or so, the
game started to work again as though nothing had happened. This same "game
freeze" would then occur again a few seconds later.
3. Also during gameplay, I was getting small black/white squares on the
screen. I have connected the card to my power supply.
4. Flight Simulator (FS) 2004 has anti-aliasing capability. I have turned
that off and turned that option on using the NVIDIA display properties.
These game freezes seem to be happening when the AA is adjusted.
I have a Dell computer, and as I understand it, I would have to get a power
supply from Dell. The only other one that they have is a 305W. PC power and
cooling has Dell power supplies. According to their system configurator, the
one that would accomodate my system is a 425W selling for about $150.
I want to get into gaming and have a good display with good frame rates,
which is why I got this card. I am not familiar with what all the settings
are for this particular card. Can anyone help me out?
System Info:
Dell Dimmension 8300

250W PSU
P4 2.6GHz
512 MB Ram
PNY Verto GeForce 6600GT AGP 128MB w/ driver version 66.93 installed
