I cant seem to figure out whats going on so ill try to list what i did to my comp in order.
1st - installed H-L2 with my old vid card in (nvidia Geforce fx5200 ultra) it worked fine.
2nd - installed doom3 with my old vid card. it worked fine on medium quality.
3rd - installed my new BFG Geforce 6800oc and did a clean install with driver cleaner pro as per instructions. played both games worked awsome.
4th - downloaded riva turner and unlocked all pipelines now i have 16. played both games and didint really notice a difference in performance.
5th - installed 3dmark05 and benchmarked (score3616) then played both games and they worked fine.
6th - popped out the smaller stick of ram and just left in the 512mb stick. played both games and were a little choppy but benchmarked it again and got a higher score(3665)
7th - put ram back in tried to play doom 3 and now it looks a little pixelated no matter what quality i run it at.
8th - thinking somehow i messed up my vid card i played H-L2 and it works fine even with stuff turned up.
i tried reinstalling drivers and restarting, nothing, tried moveing ram around, nothing, tried uninstalling then reinstalling doom and nothing.
i dont know what is going on.
sorry for such a long post but i wanted to explain everything i did in the order that i can remember.
any help would be appreciated, thank you
