Been a while lol.
Well, I got the replacement for the eVGA 6800GT card that caught on fire while on phone with the technician (Please note my new signature), as well as a free copy of Battlefield 1942 as a "sorry we screwed up" gift. I installed the new one, and it didn't catch on fire when I put the separate line in. However, I have new problems
With a video card of this caliber, eVGA 6800GT 256MB card, I shoudl be able to run Doom 3 with all the eye candy on right? Wrong. I get about 5 to 10 FPS is I run Doom 3 on 1024x768, but i get GREAT FPS if I run it on 800x600 with AAx16 and Ultra Quality. This makes no sense, and I did update the drivers. So if someone already knows the answer to this lol please post it, but this isn't the main reason why I'm here.
This video card should more then PWN, WITH CAPITIAL LETTERS, PWN Counter Strike 1.6. And it S-U-C-K-S. Even on Direct3D video mode instead of OpenGL, the FPS drops drastically whenever I look down a very long/deep room or hallway, from 99 to 25. My 9800SE PowerColor did better! It even ran doom 3 almost as good as this card!!! So someone tell me what I can do here to fix it. This is my first nvidia purchase, and the first card was a defect as it caught on fire when I ran a separate 12V line to it, and even the technican said "Holy S**T"
So what do I do lol
