TorqueR11 · 12-01-2008, 10:05 AM

oke this is the problem

when i play a game, doesn't matter which one, after 2 hours playing or so it begins to lagg like with 1.5 seconds between each movement i have this problem with the game NFS: Undercover (who needs a 256 mb vga), Age of Pirates (who needs a 128 mb vga), i tried playing both on low graphics but still thesame

Can someone help me?

Specs:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB Ram DDR2
Sapphire Ati Radeon HD 4670 1GB, 750 core clock, 1ghz mem clock
(With latest driver)
PCI-Express x16

(i have this card 4 days now)

Welcome to tsf.

What are the cards temperatures , and what powersupply make/model/wattage are you useing.

TorqueR11 · 12-01-2008, 10:34 AM

model (case i think you mean) sonata II with standard powersupply: 280W

Temperatures:
standard temp.: min: 34 deg. celcius
max: 47 deg. celcius
fully overclocked with ccc min: 36 deg. celcius
(fan 100%) max: 52 deg. celcius

Theres your problem. You really need a better powersupply. 280w is not very much and if it's the one the case came with it's probably very low quality and doesn't have enough amperage. We usually recommend throwing away the powersupplies that come free in the cases because of this.

For that 4670 you really need a 450 to 500w or higher with 26amps on the 12v rail and 80+ cert. Quality brands include antec's trio , thermaltakes toughpower , corsair , silverstone , pc power and cooling , or coolermaster.

thanks ik will look for one

TorqueR11 · 12-01-2008, 03:29 PM

btw i have made a mistake, on the back of my case under the power cable it sais 280V and i found out that it means the maximum allowed Voltage on the powersupply and i found out that i have an 400W powersupply so is there any other reason?

The 280volt is the voltage from the wall you plug it into. If the powersupply is actually 400w could you possibly give the make and model of it? It will specify on the label on the side of the powersupply.

It appears to only have 15amps on the 12v rail when you really need 26. Also the efficiency is only 70% when you really should have an 80+ cert powersupply. It also seems to get very bad ratings for failing.

The only powersupples we really like from antec are the trio's 430/550/and 650 as the others are not as good in quality..
