Hi guys.
I recently bought an Gigabyte radeon 6570 (GV-R6570C-1GI)
My previus GPU (nvidia 8400 gs) Failed (after 5 years).
I now have strange issues with my current gpu. Random lag spikes in games, graphical issues and such.
These problems exist from the first day i bought it.
Some words about my system:
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
Intel Pentium E2160 @ 1.80GHz
2,00 GB Single-Channel DDR2 @ 334MHz (RAM)
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. VM900M (Socket 775) (motherboard)
149GB SATA HDD
A single optical drive for cd/dvds
A cheap realtek network card
And a cheap tv card
and of course:
AMD Radeon HD 6570 (Gigabyte).
I tried reinstalling drivers by cleaning system with drive sweeper and drive fusion. Formated twice. Re-placed GPU and still having problems.
So i though it is either the card damaged (and i will ask for a replacement) OR my psu is crappy.
HERE IS MY PSU: BEHOLD!!!

PS:with my previus gpu i didnt had any graphics issues or had that kind of lag spikes.
I mean Yes it was laggy but not that way.
I had no lag spikes only low fps (20fps-)
 
Solution
there is lag because there is big difference bettween 8400 and 6570.hd 6570 is more powerful than 8400. try lowering your settings or save money and get good proccessor

it is not supported by my motherboard unfortunately it is 1333 mhz FSB mine supports 1066 MAXIMUM.
Oh and nice price too cheap for me i want something way more expensive...
(No if this one doesnt have it then you cant find it anywhere else{skroutz.gr searches for a product in almost every available store at Greece}.)
Probably i have to find a new combo because this
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 Box
is UNFORTUNATELY NOT SUPPORTED
what a shame... :'(

i need something cheap. and combatible with the rest of my system
skroutz.gr has a lot of cheap ones
(which is most cheap AMD or Intel?)
