Ok, so it is very clear to me that I need a new video card. Either that, or update my driver. My problem is this. How the heck do I figure out what video card I have (I installed it with a friend talking me through it a few years ago). I know that I have a PCI Express. I can't find the cd that came with it. I looked in the device manager, under Display Adapters and it shows something like this:
- RADEON X550 RADEON X550 Secondary So two things. One, how do I know what type of video card I can get and two, how do I figure out what video card I currently have so that I can attempt to update drivers (attempts to update the drivers using the properties, driver tab were unsuccessful since apparently, I don't have the software). Third, I love you. lol |

check your psu, pci-e version, check your chassis too.
most of the newer cards require at least 600W and 6 or 8 pin pci-e power connectors, they're also huge. http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html you're not just playing around though? cause i thought dani is a nerd. |
