I've never had a problem with my display card before I 'upgraded' to windows 7. My fps in IAH Dragonica is running at approximately 30-40. It was a smooth 60ish before.
There is also a considerable amount of lag in games like Outspark's Secret of the Solstice and NCsoft's Aion, which I normally played with little to no lag on windows xp.
I have read around and saw something about ATI dropping support for the 19xx cards in win7, but that was said in articles last year. I could not find anything recent about compatibility between the x19xx and win7.
I have installed a vista version of the ATI Catalyst, since it was encouraged.
I'm not a computer-hardware-configuration-tweaking-saavy person, so you might have to baby me through this.
Could someone help me with configuring my computer to accommodate the new OS?
I would very much prefer to keep the card and just configure it to the best settings possible. Maybe upgrade a few things like RAM if needed. I do not have a big budget, but am willing to spend a little if that is what it takes.
Thank you in advance.
