Alright, i have had my amazing 8890 for about 7 months now (wow time flies) and its great. Initially it was nothing shirt of stellar, but lately something seems wrong. When i first got it there would never be any chittery graphics in games like warcraft ect but now there is. At first i thought it was lag, but now it seems as if that isnt right because the graphics slight ****ter in campaign mode and offline modes too. Now even before I got the new drivers this problem was there and I really want to get rid of it. My ram seems fine as does my processor and graphics card. I just want the game as well as all other games to run smooth, and load decently fast. It may seem like im asking too much but I have expierenced the machine at its full potential and know that something has gone astray. Any input what so ever would be great. Please Help

You may want to post what methods you attempted thus far if you wish constructive critisim to be made. Examples of such are drivers (including versions) used, environmental system and/or overclocking settings, recent system changes, exact application coupled with exact problem experienced, OS reinstallation both with and without reformatting, etc.

In the immortal words of Jerry Maguire, "help me, help you".

Also, typically beginning multiple threads in more than one forum within a few minutes timeframe will not yield productive results; unless of course you are seeking scowls and angst filled comments from a large number of persons, in which case you are certainly on the right track.

The most appropriate location for this query would be the Sager 88XX Tech Support (Tech problems only) forum, which you posted the very same problem in.

Give this old chestnut a go. If you are using 2 sticks of RAM unseat them and reseat them.

If that fails then run the machine on 1 stick at a time. Which ever stick craps out on you has most likely gone bad. If that fails then restart you machine in Safe Mode and delete you ATI video drivers. Then restart and MANUALLY reisntall them. You can download the new drivers to a c:temp folder in your hard drive and install them from that folder. Just load the new drivers to that folder BEFORE you begin your unistall.

Also check your games homepage to see if they have published any patches or updates.

Hope this helps

Tim

i would uninstall nero and norton..
then use 3d mark 2001 with the update and see what you get

don't go with the 7.97s if you haven't allready. they gave me plenty of artifacts in UT2k4 and Uru... i just reformatted and went with the newest omegas. I will never go back. (unless sager gets their butt in gear and releases GOOD drivers.)
