I have a Gigabyte Nvidia Nforce 3 motherboard, AGP 8x, socket 939.
Right now I have the original chipset drivers installed, but they're getting old, so I downloaded the most recent drivers. My question is, should I try and remove the old driver before installing the new driver, or is it okay to just install the new driver on top of the old one?
I have Problems with:
some games. Halo has problems running (and I'm pretty sure it's not the video card since I have tried many different video drivers, all with the same result, and I have the latest Halo patch). Also, I think it runs better when I force my computer to run in single channel memory mode.
I tried the Counterstrike: Source Stress Test, got 116.31 FPS (average of 5 trials), and according to article on this site, with my 6600 GT, I should get around 130 FPS.
Also: sometimes, when opening or closing windows, the desktop icons will refresh. first, they'll all go blank, then be redrawn slowly.
