WTF!! Cheap GFX Card Beats my new 1!!!
If anyone can solve this mystery I will be well impressed.
2 weeks ago my very old radeon card finally gave up on me (after gradually getting worse over the period of 2yrs or so), because I did'nt have much cash I bought the cheapest card in my local store as a temp solution, its this 1 PEAK 128MB GeF FX5200 TV/CRT AGP RET [100711VDPK] from Unreal Computers
for the price ($36 to our friends in the USA), it was pretty good, I could'nt get W7 drivers so I just used vista drivers, gave me a WEI score of 2.0 Graphics, and 3.0 Gaming Graphics, so aero was enabled and I was happy.
I just got a new card, this 1 PNY 6200 512MB AGP 8X 64-bit VGA DVI-I TV-Out- microdirect.co.uk
it has a better spec and cost £13 ($57) more so I assumed the score would increase a little bit but its gone DOWN!!!! its better for Graphics 2.5 but Gaming Graphics is only 2.0, I just dont understand!
I got the latest drivers for W7 from nvidia aswell.
Any ideas much appreciated.
P.S. My MB is pretty old now but I did'nt think that would make too much difference!
