Dear PR community,
I am in dire need of help. Any BF2 mod that I play is having no AA and is very laggy. As far as I can tell, this also applies for all other games that I play, incl. ARMA II., which is currently unplayable due to that issue. The GPU is a Nvidia GeForce 550TI made by EVGA and was purchased and installed into my PC this spring, so I really hope that the card didn't go bad. According to EVGA Precision, the card is hardly strained at all; the highest use I've witnessed was around 33 precent. My CPU is also not overburdened either. I have tried the following:
I. Reinstalling my GPU drivers FAILED
II. Reinstalling the game FAILED
III. Downclocking my card FAILED
IV. Setting up the graphics ingame (I usually do this via Control Panel) FAILED
V. And some more things, which I unfortunately can't remember. FAILED

I may want to add that the card performed flawlessly at the beginning.

Any kind of help would be dearly appreciated!

Hi,

please give us your full system specs.
hardware, OS, and software specs.
and pls better describe the problem,



Can give you some suggestions, but not easy for anyone to diagnosis this kind of h/w failure without sitting in front of PC.

Try using driverfusion by treexy Driver Fusion - The Complete Driver Solution to COMPLETELY uninstall and remove your GPU drivers.
Then use CCleaner or similar to further delete any leftover crumbs from GPU drivers.
reboot.
download and reinstall your drivers.
reboot.
test.

stress test your GPU using MSI Afterburner's utility inside it called MSI kombustor.

download HWmonitor and GPU-Z and check the voltage to your GPU, could be a bad PSU for all we know.

physically reseat your GPU, make sure no dust is in the PCie-x slot.

if your motherboard has more than one PCIe-x slot, move your GPU to the other, check if slot 1 is broken.

etc.

good luck,
