Hello
I've installed an nvidia 8600gt 512mb video card on my HP computer (Quad core, 2GB ram). When I installed it, I didn't really notice any difference over the Integrated Graphics Accelerator. I just got Mass Effect 2, and the graphics performance is really crappy. I get choppy frame rates on the second lowest resolution with nothing maxed out.
I was looking in the bios setup, and noticed that the 'Display Adaptor' selection was set to PCI. Shouldn't it be set to PCIe X16? I'm afraid to change it.
Or do I just need a newer video card and more memory to play a new game?
Thanks!
