[QUOTE="Fiero, post: 180262, member: 8130"] OK here's the situtation, I got on E-Machines and chat with tec support to look for Newer versions of drivers, codec, or whatnot cause when i play Source i only get 12-20fps. He told me that there are no available driver updates that he could help me with. He told me to contact Nvidia website for V-card updates. He also said that i should purchase the v-card he suggested and it would fix my problem. My question to eveyone is Should i waste my money gettin a new v-card? OR Is there another alternative? I found current updates for the nVidia Geforce 6100 and for realtek and I updated direct X, I still see no change in game play. UPDATE: Just got back from Curcuit City, the guy there told me my problem wasnt the video card that it was prolly caused by my AMD Sempron processor. He thinks it cant handle Source and I should think about buyin a new PC if i wish to get good performance outta Source.
