Hi guys,
Recently my 6800GT packed in and as it wasnt under warranty I had to go and buy a new one. I purchased an AGP XFX 7800GS Extreme Edition and installed it as usual but now I have a VERY annoying problem. Whenever I switch the computer on and go to play a game, it loads but the game lags to **** and i mean pretty badly, even older games like CS:S. It wont play like normal till ive restarted the computer about 3 times. It seems I have to warm up my graphics card although even when the computer has been on for hours and I go to play a game it still lags.
Does anyone know why it has to do this and is there anything I can do to stop this annoying peice of hardware from stressing me out totaly?
Thanks
