Have you installed the drivers for your video card? It might just be using a stardard vga driver for it, since that is a relatively new peice of hardware I question if windows has built in support.

Also read this:

Basically it supports the arguement that radoen's suck for gaming. I really hate to say it being a radeon user myself, but they are some really crappy cards has far as drivers, software and support by the gaming industry imo.

yeah i went there
http://www.d3hq.com/forum.php?forum=2&page=1&msg=4133&msgref=4133#anch4133
and did every little thing it said to do, serious. but now im confused im just in windows nothing running and my 9800 runs a cool *cough* 70c :S i think it may die :s

now it kinda works good but i just played it then and it turnt my lcd off, heh :s

Yea, I love the driver set up for Gforce. They even make it a breeze for linux users. One drive for all cards. Shaweeeeeet.

Sorry hyperx, I know this dosen't help you but Gforce seems to usally win out in gaming. Although I heard x-box will be going ATI for the next gen console

w00t it works but it only took up 5GB and still a tad dodgy ...this games a bit scary im gonna stop playing now assuming its 1.30am, home alone in a dark room living with a cat and a dog and weird noise's :s :s :s :S

running a cool 75c uhg.

-hyperx

sorry!

sh17 that last image is a tad big :s i dont know how to make it smaller? whats the html code to show you a avatar size image and then when you click it it will redirect you to where it is? its in my image file on my isp.

-hyperx

The forum doens't allow HTML code. Additionally UBBCode doesn't allow for this option.

You CAN however just link to the image..

-OR-
You can save a small image and a large image and link them on the forum... This would act like what you wanted...
