new agp card slower than old one?

hiya

So i just got my X800 xt today and it works fine, though it seems slower and chunkier than my old graphics card? the old one is a geforce 6600 gt.

I think it might be due to the fact that my computer died before i got this card, and for now im using a slow 1.1 ghz computer.

do you think this is the reason??

im soon to be getting a pentium d 945 processor. Do ya think it will be ok then?

cheers and beers!!

anybody have any ideas?

 

It is definately a faster card

If the CPU you are currently using is slower than the previous one
and/or you are using less/slower RAM then the whole system including the Graphics card will run slower.

Once you get your new processor, you should be pleasantly surprised

 

thanks shanemail

thats just what i wanted to hear

the only issue i have now though is that i put the old graphics card back in this pile o' poo computer and it seems to outperform my new one?

perhaps it is more closely matched to this lower end system?

cheers and beers!@

 

You're exactly right. The higher end card is probably ready to accept data faster than your CPU can produce data so it 'gets ahead of itself'....
