I went down and got my new graphic card today:
VisionTek XGE RADEON X1600XT 256MB GDDR3 AGP
I loaded the drivers and Catalyst Control Center okay, but I'm having some refresh problems. When I scroll, it refreshes wrong, kinda jerky and the page refreshes with each click on the scroll bar.
I went into display properties/settings/advance/monitors and can't change the refresh like I use to? The only setting is: "use hardware default settings". It didn't do that before? Also, my Catalyst Control Center won't load either? I've tried removing the drivers and Catalyst Control Center and just loading the drivers without the Catalyst Control Center. Same problem. Remove and Reloaded everthing again.. same problem. I also tried changing the resolution too... same problem.
When I check the systm properties, hardware, everything checks out okay there too.
What am missing or doing wrong? Is this too much graphic card for my system?
System specs:
Custom Built Desktop
WinXP PRO w/service pack 2
ECS Mobo 865G-M8 AGP
Intel Dual Core 3.4G processor
2 GB Dual DDR400 SDRAM Memory
2 S-ATA-150 x 160GB cold swap HDD
HP 21" LCD Flat panel
WinTV-PVR-150
My old card, 9800 Pro worked fine. The new VisionTek RADEON X1300 XGE 512 GDDR2 AGP I tried over the weekend worked fine and so did the Catalyst Control Center. Then, I went and got this new x1600XT
I'm stumped.
