I have a ATI Radeon HD 4650, 2GB, 750 clock. O/S is Vista x64 and I'm not real anxious to move to W7. DirectX 11 and lastest updates applied.
Playing World of Warships 0.5.16 it was stable. Now at 0.6.1 the client locks up roughly every other game, sometimes crashing back the BIOS. Crashes are consistently accompanied with this log entry (when it actually writes a log entry):
WG support insists that my problem is an outdated card and/or driver. Now, ATI hasn't updated its Vista drivers since 2012. But how much could have changed?
Anyway, I realize that the 4650 isn't a gaming card. However, I'm stuck with the PCI 2.0 x16 bus on my Asus P5Q Pro mommieboard. So what's a decent gaming card for that bus, preferably cheap with more recent drivers?
