Slightly Frustrated

Postby pengyman89 » Sat Feb 16, 2008 2:17 pm

So, I saved up my pennies, headed to my local hardware store, and got the Antec Truepower Trio 650W (as they were out of stock of what i was looking for and i was impatient).

I got it all set up but still am having the same problems as before. I have tons of jaggies and the performance level is not where i'm sure it should be. Although it is much quieter than before.

I am using nHancer, activated the profile, and nothing changed.

i have briefed through them as well as another tutorial. I think this goes beyong nhancer. I have the 169.21 drivers installed but with what i've tried i'm still getting a worse image than with my old 6600gt

i've changed them repeatedly from left to right, the picture quality never changes.

Now that i think of it generally it stays at almost the same setting (by the way it looks). perhaps this is an FS issue??

It does rather sound like it. I'm just trying to think what it could be...

The 169.21 drivers and above introduced a bug with regards to nhancer.
