geforce diver

question for EVGA GeForce 9400 GT 1GB DDR2?

hello , i just bought my "EVGA GeForce 9400 GT 1GB DDR2 " from buy.com
but after i install it in my computer (i downloaded and install the diver for it too) and try play "Far Cry 2" and "Wolfenstein (2009)"
it's slow , almost can not play the game and i don't know that because my "Graphic Card" is not good enough or my "Power Supply" is not good
i have Dell Inspiron 530
350W Power Supply
6GB RAM
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.80GHz

thank for ur help

Always make sure your drivers are current and up-to-date. Always remove the old ones first, reboot, install, then reboot again. However, this sounds like your card isn't getting enough power sent to it from the system. Power consumption can affect the whole system as the 9400GT requires a minimum power supply of 300Watts+ according to NVidia's website. For optimal performance, I would recommend 400Watts+. Go to the website listed below and click on specifications (you can also get the latest drivers here as well): http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_9400gt_us.html

I've also included a website to help you calculate what your power consumption is and to help you in making decisions on what to purchase for your PC:

Good luck!
