Xfx 7750 problem

[tom163]

i just got a new 7750 1gb and have ingame freezes for 5-10 secs. the game is a mmorpg and directx 9, i tryed installing new drivers but it hasnt helped.

 

[daswilhelm]

system specs please? and what game are we talking about?

 

[tom163]

anthlon x2 2.8ghz, 3gb ram, 530w psu, windows 7, the game is tibia

 

[daswilhelm]

well the requirements of that game are pretty low, i wouldnt see it being hardware (atm), where do you see the freezes occuring?

 

[tom163]

i get the freezes ingame randomly, i get 70-100 fps, shouldnt i be getting higher? with my old integrated nvidia 6150se i used to get around 30-40

 

[daswilhelm]

those fps should be fine, sounds like something might be running in the background. when it freezes, is your hard drive light on constant?

 

[tom163]

what do you mean by hard drive light? and i never had the freezes with my old graphics card

Check your Windows Event Logs. You may be getting driver crashes.

 

[tom163]

i checked the log and dont see many errors mostly things labeled information

 

[daswilhelm]

hard drive "light" is a light on the front of your pc that lets you know there is hard drive activity. does this light come on when your freeze occurs?

 

[tom163]

no the light maintains a slow flicker it never goes solid

 

[tom163]

the game also crashes after a few hours, which i just noticed

re-install windows every time you make an upgrade -.-
