OK I bought a VisionTek - ATI RADEON HD3870 OC 512MB GDDR4 PCI Express Graphics Card - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8762234&type=product&id=1203815034383
I installed it in a new build:
Asus P5K-E
4GB CORSAIR TWIN2X4096-6400C5
Intel E8400
CORSAIR 750W TX
Antec Nine Hundred
When I start Medal of Honor it works well for about two minutes and then the graphics card shuts off (Screen goes black, but computer is running). CLICK
So I installed an older ATI AIW 1900, started the game and everything was laggy and could see the fps at 400. Did a little homework and set the fps limit to 90 (seta COM_MAXFPS "90") in the config file. Lag went away and everything is hunky dory.
The question is should the HD3870 been able to handle the higher fps regardless? Basically, is something wrong with the card, or should I return it? Should the card just of clicked off like that or should I have gotten an error message?
Thanks to all that reply.
