Switched to 8800GT from x1900 GT Need a bit of help!

[JaFFa]

I just switched as thread title suggests from 1900 to 8800. All went well surprisingly hassle free. Got latest drivers and am running on vista 64.

Now whilst in games its obviously better I am currently doing a lot of work in gtkradiant and my 3d world view in that package is now slightly lagged. Now I use the term lagged as its not like its running at a low fps its more that it get the stutter effect that used to blight games a long while back.

Its fine in games and I get 10,000k 3dmarks 2k6 (which I think is about right? its a 256mb card) . The 3d view it uses in gtkradiant is prob not 3d accelerated. It looks like its software rendered but im wondering now if the ATi card was helping it along in some way.

So in conclusion! My question is : Is there anywhere I can turn on some kind of 2d hardware acceleration?

Cheers Its not a big deal, its just I can tell and its bugging me.

3D View in radiant (except COD4Radiant that uses D3D9) uses openGL and afaik it runs in hardware... it never runs that fast (I think it caps at 15fps or something anyhow) but if it looks software rendered and is really really slow then something is wrong.

O right, its odd, its not affected by my global AA or AF settings. Its not too slow to use it just feels like its not updating fast enough. Guess Ill just live with it (so much for upgrades).

I assume 10k 3dmarks is ok ? I havent kept up with this stuff for a long long time.

Depends, what processor? I believe I hit the 12-13k mark with mine clocked at 2.8-3Ghz, if you have a Quad you should be looking at 14.5+ I think.

Oh also I think Vista takes the 3DMark score down a little bit too.
