Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a new computer after my 5 year old one started to crash.
I got the ASUS EAH 4870 for the new one, but it was DOA, so I stuck in my old XFX Nvidia 6800 GT while the RMA from newegg completes. However, I'm having issues running a simple game like World of Warcraft even with all the settings on low (frame rate is about 1-3 fps).
I'm wondering if the issue is DirectX 10, or a system setting. If anyone can shed some light for me that would be awesome!
System Specs:
Intel E8400 (Core 2 Duo @ 3.0GHz)
Asus P5Q SE PLUS mobo (@ 1333MHz FSB)
Dell Ultra Sharp Monitor (19" @ 1440x900 resolution)
XFX Nvidia 6800 GT graphics card
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS sound card
550w Antec Earthwatts PSU
Software:
Windows Server 2008 (setup as a workstation)
Desktop Theme is Windows Vista Basic (turned Aero off)
All hardware drivers up to date
Basically, I'm wondering if there is a known problem with my graphics card and Windows Vista/Server 08? or if there's a setting somewhere in the system that can help with my dilemma.
Thanks in advance.
