Takko 10 Posted September 19, 2010 Hey, a friend of mine has got a new graphics card. Although I suggested him to go with the bigger companies like Nvidia or ATI, he went for a S3 Chrome 500. The performance is said to be comparable to an ATI 5x. He is just able to play the game on low to very low and has weird artifacts (like very big sized black and white boxes) showing up. Drivers are newest. (Newest: 2008) Got any idea on how to solve that problem? Especially the low performance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scruffy 22 Posted September 19, 2010 No idea about the artifacts, drivers here seem to be newer: http://www.s3graphics.com/en/drivers/download_product_drivers_detail.aspx?seriesId=4 But you will not get much out of this card. Only thing I found is it's comparable to an ATI 4350 or Geforce 8600, which is not really enough for Arma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no use for a name 0 Posted September 19, 2010 Could be an overheating issue as even the top vendors sometimes use crappy cooling solutions to save money. Make sure he watches his temps when playing games to see if they're getting too hot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
