FT: Barely Used ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro

[maxiderm]

hey people!
i just recently bought a new ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro and im having stability issues when playing certain games. Called ATI and they said that it has to do with me having a nvidia chipset on my motherboard. I really like my motherboard because of the great overclocking capability, so i want to trade my All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro for an equal nvidia card. I am not too fimilar with nvidias, but I need one now. Thanks,

That may be true, but it's HIGHLY unlikely. The majority of AMD Athlon XP users (especially those who have high end PCs) are probably using the Nforce 2 chipset.

That is a good point. I would RMA the card and get a replacement before selling it to some goofy nut on TIMO.

ya, well, it seems to work with everything exept call of duty (my favorite game EVER). i know ATIs arent that well known for being the best cards for call of duty..... thats actually the main reason i want an nvidia. any suggestions???? please help!

no, its not the card. i have had this problem ever since ive had an ATI card. before i had a 9200 Pro. same old problems! its a known fact that COD never runs good with ATI cards anyway!

I've played Call of Duty on my AIW Radeon 8500 128MB card for over 8 hours. Not a single crash and the game looks great. I'm running an Nforce 2 based Asus A7N8X-Deluxe board rev 1.4.

If you were using an Nvidia card before (on the same system), you may have to run driver cleaner:

no, i got all the drivers taken care of (its called reformatting) i just want an nvidia! jeez you guys! i have done all i can to make this card work for me but it cant. call of duty is my favorite game ever so i want to get anything that will run it (along with farcry). so please stop giving me advice on how to fix the problem..... there is no "problem" i just want to trade my ATI All-In-Wonder 9800 Pro for an equal nvidia.
