(Windows 7 Desktop) I got a NVIDIA 7500 GT from an old computer that's been sitting in a garage. The only upgrade's I have is 8gb total RAM and the GPU.
I payed about $500 for my computer, and I found out when I was offered the older computer for piecing out that my computer has been running graphics off the motherboard (naive, new to computers me had no clue that was possible), so when I put in the card I had a massive boost in FPS for my games.
I always hear to get the latest driver to make sure your performance stays at its peak, but every driver I download makes it less and less stable. I play a few fullscreen games, and when I alt-tab to check skype, it occasionally crashes my driver, sometimes recovering, sometimes not. [strike]Should I keep updating or not push it too far?[/strike]
Every time I start scrolling down (or idle, but idling its very seldom happening) when I'm not running any music/noises I always hear some (really hard to explain this...) like quiet static/beeps? Do I need a sound card to deal with that, or do I just have to deal with the annoyance when silent? (this noise happens even when I mute Windows)
Is there any way to use my RAM to help with video/sound quality?
Thanks for the help.
