Geforce7300le problems
I have video imaging, ghosting problems with my new geforce7300le card. Image keeps repeating and blurring the screen. Anyone else had any troubles?
- If you have a GeForce 7300le you won't be able to run either game acceptably, both are very demanding games and the 7300le is limited to 4 pixel pipelines, 3 vertex pipelines and a 64 bit memory interface. Both F.E.A.R. and Oblivion are tough to run with the highest end cards, so it really isn't a system level issue, but a limitation of the 7300le.ViiV is really nothing but a software connector that allows non-MS apps to register with and take advantage of Media Center and ViiV supported hardware (T.V. tuner cards, remotes, etc...) to feel more "integrated". NCQ should prevent stuttering so that likely isn't it.Dell does use a less than full featured drivers, you might get some additional performance by downloading the drivers direct from nVidia. That said, no driver will make the 7300le a serious contender with high end games.
- I beg to differ on playing the newest games with the 7300LE. Yes, it is a weak card but I use it to play Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter on medium settings and it plays very well with good frame rate and plenty of "eye candy", but the resolution is 800x600.
My system:
Dell e510 3.2 ghz 640 2x512 @ 533 w/19" e196FPB analog display - 800x600 is not a modern gaming resolution. Even 1024x768 is on the low side. If you want to play a modern (high system requirements) game, with the cost of monitors (LCD usually) nowadays, you would be running 1440x900 (common on sub-20" widescreen LCDs) or higher resolutions. If you have the budget to buy a computer that can handle the game, you should budget in a monitor to match the niceness of the system.
So a 7300 isn't 'bad', but to play high end games it's definately underpowered.

1. The nVidia drivers
2. A flaw in the systems design that Dell is unaware (or is) of.
In either case I've also heard of XPS 600's having this problem, I believe it may be related to the Viiv technology just plain messing the systems. It might also be the NCQ on the hard drives, perhaps this causes video to stutter, etc. Anyway I am not all that impressed with their builds, there is nothing that difficult about building a machine that will render video without flaws.
