Might be a driver problem but I doubt, I will roll back to the 60 drivers and see what happens, If you have suggestions please let me know! I love my new fast comp but no FS isnt gonna do it! Cheers, Gunny

Perhaps more detail is needed for someone to know where the prob might be, Gunny. What does it do? when does the prob start? Error messages?

if you look down a ways in the forum you'll find another post by me with a screenshot of what she does..... Its all fuzzy, Black white 60% of screen.... And if I load up FS pas or anything else she goes nuts, I think my card was a dud I just installed newest drivers and its all messed up Cheers, Gunny

edit: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... 1135300727 and I (This is not what FS looks like to me) but only my screens, Now, Add into the factor that it DOES look like this when I try too open programs that run inside of FS, And I cant run it full screen on menu either!

Weird, didnt do this till I screwed with drivers shortly after putting it in, I'll Call PNY and put warenty to use, before I do that I will prolly Pull card out, run PC, put it back in and see what happens! Cheers, Gunny

Oh and FS is the only game it does it too, everyone else runs 100% perfect except for ocassional Glitching but Thats prolly expected

Well FS is more demanding than most games on your entire system. Run 3DMark05 and see what you get, also see if the card can make it all the way through the test. I had a 9600SE that blew up on me running 3DM that had worked fine in games. When I sent it back to Sapphire they told me that due to the stress I had put on the card playing eveything maxed out all the time, the GPU simply gave out.

Cheers

ha.... After much research and dealing with Tech support I find that the PNY 6200 is absolute crap.... the 6200 isnt the best of best as it is, but the PNY one seems to have everyone who owns it screaming, Also their are many issues with compatibility with Components on the computer, once I sell my old ram and PSU I will Be Selling this card as well and be going with my Defualt MX440 Again! Cheers, Thanks for all the help that goes for nothing! And PNY Lost one customer, ME!

Yeah if she can't do a video bench then shes prolly gone. PNY is not my first choice in cards but my MX is PNY works fine, I guess you get what you pay for :P
