so my buddy called me over for a gfx card i installed old fx5500 thinking his onboard gfx didnt work with games but when i tried to test the game he had bought (some lame game called spartan from 2004?) it was all garbled and he said it was this way with the onboard as well. (he didnt tell me that just said wouldn't run heh) so my question is
Is this a dx8 problem as the games say they require dx8?
Are both on board and fx5500 faulty?
is it a windows xp pro sp3 problem?
Maybe bring driver cleaner over and install drivers again?
Im planning on going back over to his house with a fresh xp disc and a newer game to test, he has a 300watt psu so didnt try any decent gfx cards (slowest spare card i have is a 8800gts)
SORRY for more lame questions thanks for replies
