Radeon 8500LE - HELP

[Excalibur]

I just bought a Radeon 8500LE 64MB a week ago replacing my GF2 MX400 64MB.

I am currently playing Asheron's Call 2 and what I notice is that after maybe 20minutes of gameplay, when I portal in the game, the quality of the graphics decreased alot, I can see big pixels and it's not as smooth as when I just entered the game.

This never happened on my GF2 MX400 card. Could the gpu be overheating or getting hot?

Did you completely uninstall the Dets before you installed the 8500? Also are you running the latest Cats? (2.5) me thinks. IF you need help uninstalling, or installing Cats Here is the place to find all the help about 8500's you could ever want.

sounds like a possible driver glitch with that game... or just a driver glitch cause ATI is good at that.
