I need a new card..

[Shamrock]

I just bought a 9800 Pro and HATE it.. What kind of card should I get now? I think I can go aroung $270..

what the hell radeon 9800 pro is like the best graphics card and you dont even like it :flame:

 

[Hazar]

Well, why do you hate it?

 

[Shamrock]

The only reason I don't like it is because it hates me. It would not install on my computer untill after around 8 attempts of different drivers. Then I got it installed, restarted my compter and it gave me another error. Until now, it is working fine now. But I still hate it.

 

[Shamrock]

It is still causing me minor errors though.

What's your system's specs?

Trust me, for a budget card, the 9800 is the best. You'll find nothing better in that pricerange.

 

[Shamrock]

Well what do you think I should do to get it to stop causing these errors? I mean I could reformat and start off clean.. Although, I don't really want to do that at the moment. Even though, I just recently reformatted..

Did you uninstall all your drivers from the old card properly? Download a driver cleaner, run it, it'll get rid of all drivers or what's left of them including the 9800 pro ones, so once it's done you'll have to download drivers from ATi.com or use the ones that came with it. Just go to google and search for "driver cleaner," it should find something.

I unistalled all the previous ones. I used Driver Cleaner 3. It worked to perfection. Then I installed it, and it still cause me errors..

What kind of errors are we talking about, random restarts, games crash... ?
