Evga e-GeForce 6600 GT Problem

[Chuck]

Hello, I have berly bought this card yesterday, and it is a PCI Express version. The problem I am having is that it is letting me play my games but there are glitches in my games. Like weird things, like lines on my armies and characters. I have pictures from FRAPS, but I don't know how to upload them on this page. So any advice would be great, thank you.

What you describe could be artifacts (meaning that unless you overclocked your card something is wrong), or could be the result of driver problems.
What Video card did you have before the GT?

[Chuck]

Thanx for the reply, the video card I had before this one was actually the integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200. Also could the problem I am having result from not enough power from the power supply, because my power supply is only 300 watts, and I think I read somewhere that the 6600 GT needs a minimum of 350 watts.

I don't think power is the problem here, I think it's driver related.
Did you clean your system of the old video cards drivers using driver cleaner? (Found here http://www.drivercleaner.net/ ).
If not, do that, (clean all your graphics drivers off of your system, including the NVIDIA ones, then install the newest NVIDIA forceware display drivers, not the ones that came with the 6600GT, as they would be older).
Do this and hopefully your problem(s) will be fixed, if they aren't report back.

It could also be powersupply related, bad powersupplies can also cause those stuff. Even though with nVIDIA I think the drivers have a built in function where a pop-up comes up after a while saying you don't have enough power.

Do what Pompey the Great say and download DriverCleaner, make sure to do exactly what the readme says.

If that don't work then your card is probabily overheating, go to nVIDIA cotrol panel and check the temperture.

Thanx again for the replies, well I ran DriverCleaner and did exactly what the readme said, but I still had the artifacts in the games. The game ran fine for a while with no artifacts, then they just popped up out of nowhere. The game I was running was Call of Duty 2. Oh yea and I also found out that if you have an onboard ATI video card on your motherboard, and you disabled it and used driver cleaner for the drivers, but your NVIDIA card still never works right then it probably will never work correctly. So I decide to take the card back, and get a X1300 Pro, because it is the only card which is the same price and the only card that I think will work with my ATI motherboard. This is the card that I am going to get tomorrow. So thank you again and please post anymore replies if you would like to.

No no no!!! Do NOT get the X1300 Pro!!! If you want to get an ATI card get the X800GT or X1600 Pro, but NOT the X1300!

The 6600GT is twice as fast as a X1300 Pro.
