Hello everyone. First thing I would like to say is that I'm not all too computer savy, so please go easy on me.
A couple days ago, I bought a graphics card for a rather old computer. Everything was running fine, however I discovered that upon playing any 720p video (downloaded, not sure about streaming) would be very choppy and would lag. The sound worked fine though. Before, I was just using integrated graphics and I could play 720p videos with no problems. Also, on some games that would work without many problems before, would give me low fps (~3-6) on this new graphics card.
I'm sure I have the latest drivers that I downloaded from the site, not the ones that came with the CD, and that I disabled the drivers for my integrated graphics before installing.
So, does anyone have an idea of what's wrong? And, of course, any methods of fixing it? Any help would be appreciated.
The graphics card that I bought was the ATI Radeon HD 4550.
Thanks for reading.
