I'm starting to come to a conclusion that I am screwed when it comes to this new card I purchased. I was hoping to get a bit of an AGP upgrade from my 6600GT until I get a new laptop, but so far my experience has been frustrating to say the least.
There seems to be a huge driver issue with this card.
Every game I've played so far has crashed/froze/or just had didn't display anything but a black screen with audio still going in the background. For example Medieval Total War 2 shuts off my entire computer once I start a battle, GTR2 finishes loading a race but the graphic of the track from the loading screen is always present, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. freezes my PC completely within a few seconds of playing, Sins of a Solar Empire is a laggy POS on this card.
I've tried installing the 'hot fix' but the 8.1 drivers won't install for me, I have the latest Omega drivers installed.
Is there anything else I can possibly do to help my card actually play games?
I'm also wondering if ATI is supporting this card or not? Will it always be like this? I've been scouring the net on a variety of forums and many topics seem to be from November or January with a few recent ones, and I'm surprised this type of issue hasn't been resolved very much.
Any comments appreciated.
Oh and my PSU is not an issue.
