So i recently upgraded to a 9800gtx from a 8600gt, newegg had it for 140 shipped and i already had a deal to sell my old 8600gt to a friend for 50 bucks. so pretty much a 90 dollar upgrade.
I just installed and im using the 178.13 drivers, so i installed every game i had, gow, crysis, crysis warhead, bia, farcry 2, fall out 3, cod series, and every game run perfect, i was surprised how much more awesome some games looked/felt, farcry 2 being one the most improvements, but for crysis warhead, i was confused, on the level when entering the sub, i was lagging badly, mainly when i was turning, even on 2nd to lowest settings @ 1280x1024, the lag was still there, is something wrong? cause i recall on my old 8600gt having no problems until the adapt or perish levels.
Another problem is this random ticking/clicking sound that comes up when listening to music, it comes and goes, my sound card is an audigy 2 zs, using ''SBAX_PCDRV_LB_2_18_0001'' driver installer. Is this a sound problem or something else?
-So pretty much what im asking is, what drivers should i be using?
-Anyone else own a Evga 9800gtx (g92) from newegg? i currently have it @ 700/1155, what kind of clocks have you gotten yours? i amped the fan speed to 100%, fan noise doesnt bother me, and plus the card was running hot at stock settings.
-Are the crysis issues due to my outdated system? Ived heard that the 9800gtx or the newer gpus uses ram/cpu to get some more performance.
-The clicking/ticking sound issues.
Overall, ived been told what a bottleneck this was gonna be, but for a 90 bucks upgrade im happy, im still gonna upgrade my cpu/mobo/ram soon, but im gonna stick it out til may of next year to prob upgrade to the new intel line cpus.
Thanks for any help
