[Gripper]

radeon x1600pro 256mb graphics card for £60,my motherboard reads it as having 512 mb?
Has anyone else used one of these cards,I was on a tight budget and thought this was the best I could get for the money.

Your thoughts?

[lynx]

Driver issue?

[amaso20005]

upgrade the driver

[DorisInsinuate]

Try updating your drivers.

[unholyman]

Unlikely it as it seems,it may be the manufacturer put the wrong gfx card in the box,it is just your luck lor

[R3n3g4D0]

as somenone said before , upgrade your drivers

[DorisInsinuate]

You may need to replace your drivers with more up to date versions.

There's about 4 posts in this thread saying "update your drivers". Don't bump threads if your just gonna say the same thing over and over....

[DorisInsinuate]

It may be possible that your drivers are out dated. You should renew them.

[Gripper]

I actually wanted to know if anyone had the same card and what they thought of it.
Which drivers should I update,the graphics cards or just everything generally?

Anyone know of a program that would help spot out of date drivers?

You must be completely brain dead or just ignored my prior post :frusty:

@Gripper, the best place to get video card drivers from is http://downloads.guru3d.com/ they've got almost every driver on there new and old for ATI/Nvidia cards. Just update your video card drivers and make sure to correctly uninstall them using driver cleaner pro (http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745) First uninstall the drivers then reboot when it asks you to and then boot into safe mode and run driver cleaner using which ATI filter(s) you need and once that's done reboot normally and install your new drivers.

I think he needs new drivers.

[cpt_azad]

Yo, just update the vid drivers and it should be good to go from there.

You do realise that a good percentage of the fourm has you on 'Ignore' don't you?


Anyhow, I had a similar problem once and I just updated my drivers and all was good.

Everything was good after you did that?

[DorisInsinuate]

Replacing your drivers with more recent ones fixed your problem?

[Notor|ous]

Google the drivers

[DorisInsinuate]

You may need to use the Google search engine to acquire appropriate drivers for your hardware.

That's very good advice.


I'd just reinstall the drivers myself.


Edit:
On second thought, you might want to wait and see what other folks recommend.

[JordoR]

Yeah I've had this problem before, just gotta update your drivers and it will fix it.

There's about 12 posts in this thread saying "update your drivers". Don't bump threads if your just gonna say the same thing over and over....

That's what I said :dry:

At the risk of stating the obvious, just gotta update your drivers and it will fix it.

I think.

I kinda agree.

drivers, man, drivers...

Vous devez mettre à jour vos drivers.

Ce n'est pas des "drivers" en Français. C'est des "Pilotes".

[DorisInsinuate]

Try upgrading your pilotes.

[killuminati96]

well... in all likelyness your card has 512 MB!! I have a Radeon x1600 Pro 512 MB. Mine said it came with 512 on the box tho. I'd be glad it says that and not complain.

[DorisInsinuate]

Yeah, I've had problems with whiny graphics cards too.

"Waaah, waah, my fan is all spinny, waaaah, I don't like extra large texture maps."

:dry: crabby little bastard.

[Barbarossa]

If I had a whiny graphics card I'd be updating those drivers so fast it wouldn't know what hit it :dry:
