Answer» I recently got a new computer, its pretty good here are some specs (ask if more needed):
Kingston 8GB DDR3-1600 HyperX DualChannel RAM
ATI Radeon HD6950 1GB DDR5 PCI-E
PhenomII 1090T 6x3,20GHz
but when I run games like Black Ops, and Dragon Age: Origins, I get some fps drops and when in combat, I can hear sound flickering, I don't know whats really causing this, its a new computer and all. All Drivers should be up to date. only thing I find weird is that when CPUID CPU-Z scans my graphics card, it says its a Radeon HD 6900 series, and not a Radeon HD 6950 as it should be. I am really new to computers and so, and I am not sure what to do on my own.Welcome Ronar! to Computer help....and it is. A great bunch of helpful people on here.
I, too, know very LITTLE and I'm sure your help will be here very shortly, but in the meantime, I saw something in your post I want o comment on.
That being you assume, and rightly so, that you have the LATEST up-to-date drivers onboard......NOT SO! Computers are built months ahead of the purchase time and many developments may have taken place in the driver.
Go to hardware manager and allow the program to look for updated drivers.
JohnDO NOT follow the advice in the above post.
1) NEVER update drivers unless there is a specific need to
2) When you DO update drivers, always obtain them from the OEM websites, not from Windows UpdateAlright thanks for the answers so far, but still no solutions. I downloaded video card drivers from AMD website, and the driver installer from stema also says that its up to date and so.I noticed something, on my box that contained my motherboard, it says the model is GA-870A-UD3 (rev. 2.1)
On the Gigabyte website I downloaded drivers for rev 3.0.
Is it possible that this is what caused my issues?Quote from: Ronar on March 06, 2011, 01:38:09 PM 1. I noticed something, on my box that contained my motherboard, it says the model is GA-870A-UD3 (rev. 2.1)
2. On the Gigabyte website I downloaded drivers for rev 3.0.
3. Is it possible that this is what caused my issues? 1. Good to know before you do anything.
2. Your Bad.
3. Good chance.alright, anyone can confirm this before I start downloading more crazy drivers.There's nothing to confirm. If the CORRECT drivers are available and you downloaded the wrong ones the answer is obvious, isn't it?but do you know, if I downloaded rev 3.0 drivers and my PRODUCT is rev 2.1 I did it wrong?Looks like the drivers for both revs are identical. Realtek updates their sound drivers almost every month. You have R2.54, R2.58 is the latest. What OS are you using?

Can you see the dilemna here ? ?Quote from: Ronar on March 06, 2011, 03:12:38 PMWindows 7 64bit
Drivers are the same for both mobo revs. If sound is the only issue, get the latest Realtek audio drivers.
