A friend referred me to this site for my technical question.
I just purchased a ATI 9800 Pro in lieu of Half Life 2 being released today.
I upgraded from 9600xt where I was able to play Counter Strike: Source just fine.
The problem isn't drivers, I've tried Omega, Catalyst, and even a tweaked version.
I believe the problem may be my power supply, yes I have the card directly connected to it.
The PS in question is a 400W CompUSA brand one, the card requires a 350W power supply to begin with.
Here is my system configuration:
3.0ghz Pentium 4 w/ HT
Windows XP Pro
2GB RAM
36gb 10,000rpm SATA HD (the game and os reside here)
80gb 7200rpm HD
60gb 5,400rpm HD
DVD +/- RW
CD-RW
Three fans
Sound Blaster Live!
as well as a FireWire and USB cards.
Is too much power being sucked from that power supply?
Or is it something else?
Thanks in advance.
