O.P. graphics card probs.
Hey guys, I got a new graphics card (Geforce 9800 GTX+) which is a BIG upgrade from my Geforce 8500 GT. I'm using Vista, yeah... I know, and my windows score... thing used to rate my comp as a 3.5, but now has dropped to a 2.8 just because of the card. Normally I wouldn't care but I'm concerned if my comp is actually really detecting it. It does come up as NVIDIA geForce 9800 GTX/9800 GTX om Device manager.
Bonus points for anyone who can help with this extra problem:
My new card is now blocking 2/4 sata inputs on mother board ATM I don't have a working disc drive. No possible way to put a SATA under it since it wont fit in the PCIE slot, so now I have to either sacrafice my back up hard drive or just live without a disc drive. Obvious choice there, but does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve me having a dead peice of equipment taking up space in my comp? thanks guys.
Let's roll kids, we're gonna party like the amish.
