Hello, I just recently replaced the hard drive on my computer and had quite a few issues getting the operating system correctly installed on it. I actually made a few posts here asking for help, and ya'll were a lifesaver. Thanks!!
So now my computer is working, however I suspect that something is wrong with my graphics card. Games which used to run smoothly with beautiful graphics are now running choppy even when I drop the graphics quality down so far everything looks horrible.
As far as I can tell I have downloaded all of the drivers for my computer, though I'm certainly no expert on this so I don't know for sure if I've done that properly. Dxdiag is detecting my ATI graphics card, but the windows performance information and tools is giving my graphics card a rating of 1.0 even though before it always gave it a really good score (can't remember the exact number offhand).
My graphics card is a 4GB ATI Radeon HD 5450. I know it's not the best, but it's been doing pretty great so far. And these are games that I KNOW should run smoothly on this card. Is there some sort of diagnosis I can do on my computer to find out if my graphics card is working or not?
Thanks!!
