Hi All,
I am new to Graphics card & computer games.Previously I was happy with Games like project IGI I & II along with Max Payne I & II as well. However nowadays I am planning to play games that requires graphics card. I want to know who is the best manufacturer of Graphics Card & how to understand the series of them.As I recently bought a card from NVIDIA Gainward GT 520 2GB DDR3 & still while playing Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, the entire game is moving slow or better to say using FRAPS I found numbers to be as low as 5-7 during the game's progress.Whereas, by relative is using NVIDIA Forsa GT440 & on his computer that game goes perfect.
Here's my system's config:
Intel Core 2 duo E6850 3.0 ghz CPU
Intel DG 31 PR Mother Board
4 GB DDR2 RAM
450 Watt PSU
660 GB (160 GB+ 500GB) HDDs
Dell S2240M 22'' LED Monitor
NVIDIA 2GB DDR3 Geforce Gainward GT 520
Win 7 Ultimate 32 Bit.
Also I would like to add to the fact that I also ended up with a problem with sound after I installed that graphics card on my 4 yr old system.Whenever I play any .mp3 file & surf online, I find the sound to crack or popping sound during the track.
Here's what I tried:
1) Updated NVIDIA drivers
2) Used NVIDIA sound drivers only to play audio after uninstalling Realtek (Previous Default version)
3) Uninstalled NVIDIA Sound Driver & used Realtek Sound drivers only.
4) Connected VGA to Motherboard & tried playing audio
5) Connected VGA to Graphics Card & played audio.
Results were interesting.
All the steps mentioned till point no 3 failed,however when I connected VGA to Motherboard, sound was perfect without any crackling sound but I was unable to play the game.Also I found that the total usable memory was different (RIGHT CLICK MY COMPUTER & GOTO PROPERTIES-SYSTEM-INSTALLED MEMORY) to what it showed after I connected it back to the Graphics Card.
Please help as I am quite new to this..............
Thanking in advance to all who goes through this thread....Need desperate help
