Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around issues related to graphics performance and display problems experienced while playing a game on a new computer setup with a GeForce GT 620 GPU and Windows 8.1. Participants explore potential causes for lag, incorrect coloring, and display issues compared to an older system running Windows 7.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant notes that the new computer's graphics performance is lacking compared to an older dual-core system, despite having better specifications.
  • Another participant suggests that the graphics card (GeForce GT 620) has a low ranking and may not support the game at full settings, recommending to check compatibility and lower graphic settings if necessary.
  • There is a repeated emphasis on ensuring that DirectX is installed, as it is required for many games to function properly.
  • A participant mentions that despite having DirectX installed and changing the resolution, the game window remains stuck in the top left corner of the monitor.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the root cause of the issues, with some attributing it to the graphics card's limitations while others emphasize the importance of DirectX installation. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the specific cause of the display problems.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not fully explored the implications of RAM size or the specific game being played, which may also influence performance. There is a lack of consensus on whether the issues stem from hardware limitations or software configuration.

I bought a new computer of core i5 and with geforce gt 620 gpu support. I installed Windows 8.1 on it. However I can't play the game I used to play on Windows 7 anymore. I installed Windows 7 on a dual core processor with less ram than that of the current computer. Things were just fine. All the graphics and animation were smooth. They became laggy only when I opened and viewed many game windows at the same time. Now the game window on the new machine loses its borders, top menu bar and it always sticks to the top left corner of my monitor screen. ..I can't move it down. It is fixed up there. The game screen becomes like being laggy with an incorrect coloring scheme being used. Things occur with only one window opened. Sometimes I see dark blocks of pixels and the colors drawn aren't smooth. My monitor is of LG22EA53, Resolution is 1920 x1080. I also installed its driver on my machine.
Would you please offer me some advice or ideas as to why I run into something like that ?I am thinking better machines should offer better effects. . Thank you a lot.

I think its the graphic card...not very spectacular ranking (174 out of 200)...http://community.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu/NVIDIA+GeForce+GT+620/review
Check the game section http://community.futuremark.com/hardware/gpu/NVIDIA+GeForce+GT+620/games
to see if your game is included and can be played in full settings. Otherwise lower the graphic settings of the game to make it work.
What's the RAM btw? And the Game?
Thank you.
Here's the game I play http://boom.zing.vn. I have played only one game until now. I have a 4GB of RAM. I didn't know about the graphics card ranking.

Make sure that you have installed DirectX http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179113 Most games require it to work well. And if all fails lower the resolution and settings to make it work.

I have directX installed and no matter what resolution I change me screen to, the borderless game window is still stuck on the left top corner.
