I just bought an EVGA Nvidia GeForce 8400GS Video Card. I know this isn't a great card, but I only need basic graphics to do my work but it can't seem to handle anything. I uninstalled the previous graphics card drivers and installed the new drivers from the CD that came with the card.
The display looks ok if nothing is happening, but if I move a window (e.g. just Windows Explorer) it will leave traces and move very slowly. If I open a program or restore from minimized, the GUI takes a very long time to show up and appears bit by bit. Is this just a piece of s**t card or is something wrong? Any input would be appreciated.
Other System Specs:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 @ 4 GHz
RAM: 2x4GB Corsair XMS3 1333 MHz DDR3
HDD: Western Digital Black 1TB
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX600 600 Watt
MOBO: Asus M5A99FX Pro R2.0
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
