Well today I wanted to see what my card was made of. So I went into single player and jacked everything up to high. It was a little studdery but I got to see what this game can look like.
So I go to change them and the bottom half of the screen goes black. I'm like oh shit. I exit out restart change all my settings back to low. (I am playing SF, I can't play SF on med settings. But I can with vanilla.) Regardless things are looking good and I figure that it is just a fluke.
So I get into the game fine and notice that maybe every 5-10 seconds I lag a little. But my ping stays under 50 and never gets any higher then 70. I tried 5 different servers and the same thing happens.
So my question is. Could my video card be damaged just enough so the game studiers every few seconds? And also could turning them up high have caused it? Oh and the card is 6600 backed up with 1 gig of ram.
