RE: pci express graphic compatability


I just bought it..and that`s why i`m browsing these forums..for me it just
dosn`t work..tried all i could..updated to latest drivers,but no luck.This
card for me takes 100% CPU all the time...when i take the card out there is
no problem at all.i was having integrated Graphics,so thought of
upgrading,but this where i`m now.But don`t worry,some users might escape
without any issues at all.i got this error while installing it:
