Author Topic: Onboard GFX vs big GFX cards help  (Read 654 times)

My computer has a Intel graphics accelerator, a very weak thing.
I can play games like plants vs zombies and other small games.
But i bought a nvidia 6200 GFX card and i can play 3D games faster and with better looks but i noticed one bad thing my non 3D games such as plant vs zombies and other have a major slowdown.
Is there any thing I can do to fix it?

Try using different drivers.

I noticed that on some older cards, older drivers help. The newest drivers on my 8600GT cause frequent blue screen crashes, while 2 year-old drivers are stable as ever.

If it's a driver issue, it's a matter of trial and error.

my gfx card has 2 drivers the old and the new.
i use the old for stability.
the new one is worthless blockland looks like paper in that one.

6200 is really ooooold.

A Geforce 6200 is like stuff from 2005 or something.
And even then it was on the low-end spectrum of the 6000s.
It's probably even worse than your intel accelerator.

Did you buy the 6200 from a retail store like walmart by any chance? Walmart tends to overprice their crap when it's like $12 online.

6200 is really ooooold.
It's like the best pci card whenever I had it like a year ago.
