I told them that I wanted a very good game card in the machine. Money was not an issue. They insisted that anything beyond the Nividea 6600 would be wasted on my needs. I have it in now for them to figure it out with the same instructions. They continue to tell me that changing the video card will not help but I told them to try it anyways. I bought the monitor last year and it was cutting edge so I know it can handle the video. In anycase I see no more need to continue this thread unless some one has had the same problem and cured it somehow. I will leave the speculation to the techs, lol...
Thanks for all the help,
Randy
You need to fire the person working on your computer. They sound like complete fools. If you say you need a
very good video card for games and they recommend that you don't get anything greater than a 6600 then they plainly don't know what they are talking about. A 6800 GT would be a medium grade video card, so that makes the 6600 a top of the line low end card.
Anyways, you may want to try reinstalling WinXP and starting out with a fresh install if your problems come back or uninstalling your old ForceWare drivers by following the instructions here:

I have a Athlon FX-55 and ATi X800 XT PE card and I get 70-100FPS at 1600x1200 w/2 Anti-Alias.
