Onboard Video Card problem -_-

TayMan · 10-11-2007, 09:56 AM

Hi there,

I have a ASRock P4VM890 Mobo with an onboard 64meg video card
now everything works fine and i have updated all the drivers...but when i play my game (Tales of Pirates) and I use a skill (flashy lights and seizure GFX) it takes A LOT longer than usual to cast the skill...and the game slows down very bad...everything else FLIES...but the skills seem to make the Video Card work REALLY hard

i was just wondering if there was possibly a driver / option i could change that would fix that (i know the video card sucks ... just looking for a temp fix until i get my 256 ATI video card)

thanks in advance
Taylor

If you have the most updated drivers for it, its most likely a limiation of the onboard card itself unfortunately.

yeah unfortunately onboard graphics are really not for gaming.

not necessarily true.. some machines are comming with better ones like, like gforce 6150 onboard... still not a GREAT card, but will run a mid range 3d game, WoW, etc on it. But yes, alot of them come with like the intel onboard graphics, which is great for windows, thats about it.
