davidmount Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 OK so I recently purchased a new Video card - 1 GB Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS - up from a 512 MB 9400 GT. Initially the 9400 played at high video qualty. Recently it dropped to medium - no reason, didn't change anything except drivers since updated Nvidia drivers came out. That's why I bought the 1 gig 8400. Instead of letting me play at high quality again, it's gone to low quality and I'm getting freezing and crashing ala Fallout 3. I'm running XP sp3, 4 gigs ram, intel core duo 2.4 ghz and no mods on New Vegas. Any ideas why my video quality has suddenly tanked and I now get CTD's when I never had that issue before? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gishank Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 You downgraded from an outdated, low-end card to an even more outdated low-end card... For a little bit more VRAM... V_V As for your issue, I can assure you though that you won't be playing New Vegas on high at a stable framerate with either card. It was most likely always at medium/low settings and you never noticed until you checked it. You can always attempt changing the settings manually on the launcher.
