I recently installed a GT240 into my GF's PC for a bit of gaming - mainly via Steam.
I normally play CS:S, TF2 and L4D 1&2.
I'd read that the GT240 was a reasonable performer (for the price) but in this instance I can honestly say it performs like a dog....
I did briefly have a 9600GT installed which was better but not anything to brag about...
When playing TF2 it takes forever to get into the game then as soon as you encounter a bit of action the whole game turns into a slide-show - it's awful.
I thought I'd try CS:S today and turned everything down to the minimum - when you start the level with the whole team in the same location - it's slide-show time once again! I've never played CS ever as such slow levels of frame rates - my old Nvidia TNT from the last millennium would have kicked its ass I'm sure!!!
Let me give you my GF's System specs:
ACER Aspire T180
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (2.20 Ghz)
1.5GB Ram
Vista 32-bit (not sure why not 64?)
Windows Experience Rating of 4.2
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
