Thanks for the help!
Managed to get it running somehow. It’s far from perfect, but at least it isn't freezing. I set the shortcut to compatibility mode for Windows 95 and now it's actually somewhat playable... honestly, if I'd known this game was such a buggy mess, I never would've downloaded it!

Rage runs like garbage even on rigs way more powerful than yours.
Yeah, I patched it. It actually ran without stuttering on my old card... might try some other drivers, since I know with a new GPU I should be hitting at least low settings. Just wondering—will the game recognize the hardware swap? Don't want to have to restart the whole thing from scratch.

I was running a GT 8600 before, and today I swapped in a new HD5670 512 mb DDR5. Everything installed perfectly fine.
But here's the thing—I tried playing "Rage," and even with my old GT 8600 overclocked (using DirectX 9.0 C), it was barely playable. Now, with this new card, it's actually slower. I grabbed the latest drivers, but honestly, even without them, the game should still be running better than this... so what am I missing? Should I just nuking the game and reinstall everything from scratch or what?
Specs: 2 x 2.33 GHz, 4GB RAM, 450W power supply
Help me out!
The card is supposed to be twice as fast, yet the game runs worse. Anyone got an idea why?
Quick question!!
I was running a GT 8600 before, but today I swapped it out for a new HD5670 512mb DDR5. Everything installed perfectly fine.
The problem is, I tried playing Rage—which barely even ran on my old overclocked GT 8600 (using DirectX 9.0 C drivers)—but now it’s even slower with this new card. I made sure to grab the latest drivers, but honestly, it feels like it would run better without them. So, what am I missing here? Should I just nuking the game and reinstall everything from scratch or what??

Problem!
I just picked up a GPU with a DVI port, but my old monitor only has VGA. What am I going to need to get this thing hooked up properly? (Specific adapters? Which ones exactly?)
thanks
Hey,
Looking to upgrade my GPU, so I need some advice.
Right now I'm running a GeForce 8600 GT. It’s been doing its job fine, but I want something beefier for $200 heavier titles.
My motherboard is DDR2, LGA 775 socket, SATA II... not sure if a card like a DDR5 model will even work with this setup.
Power Supply: 450W
CPU: 2 x 2.33 Intel Core 1333MHz
RAM: 2GB (planning to grab another 2GB soon)
I've been eyeing: the GeForce GT 440 1GB DDR5 and the ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB DDR3.
Are these actually compatible with my board? And more importantly, are they actually a big jump over the 8600 GT? (Strictly for gaming).
Thanks!🙂
Need a GPU upgrade...!?
Specs: -Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz
-2 GB DDR2 RAM 800MHz
-450W PSU
-19" 4:3 LCD monitor
-Current card: GeForce 8600 GT Fallout 3
I'm running Fallout 3 on high settings, but I'm stuck at 800x600 because of the auto settings... I want to crank everything to ultra and actually use the native resolution for my 19" screen.
Thanks in advance!!!
