I picked up an open box 9800GTX+ and was impressed by its performance. I returned it and bought the new box for $15CAD
more. I swapped it in and noticed a stutter. I put on the default
3dmark06 and it scored 5500points.(most of the demos were a slide -
show) :ouch: . I tried driversweeper in safe mode and re-installed the drivers.
No luck, am I overlooking something or do I have a turkey! :fou:
