Rebooted.

Mega choppiness in games.

Updated Bios.

Still having mega choppiness in games.

Need help.

Return it, and get the 5700LE.

Return it and get a Radeon 9600XT? I've had mine forever, never had any problems with it. About to upgrade to an Asus X800 too. Mine's already taken though, my dad wants it for the family rig, it needs upgraded, and he offered to pay me for it.

Seriously, get your money back and put in another ouple of months worth of savings. It would be worth it. I had a 5200 and upgraded to a 5700LE. I have ben kicking myself not doing that in the first place. Also there are plenty of places where you can get an LE for less than $150.

 

As for that card it could be a bad card.

I'm no expert on any of this, but I do know that newegg.com has some of the best prices around for computer stuff.

uh, yes and no with newegg. you can usually find better prices elsewhere, however, nobody has the same level of service as newegg. not even close.
