Help!! Geforce 7600gs problem.

I just got nvidia geforce 7600gs. When i start upp a game i works perfectly fine but after a while everything starts lagging, ive tried diffrent games and the same thing happens. I've installed and reinstalled new and old drivers!

I did not have this proble with my geforce 6600..

My specs are: AMD Athlon 3500+, 2,20 GHZ , 1gb ram, Nvidia geforce 7600gs 256mb.

Games ive tried it on: Hitman Blood money, Splinter cell double agent, oblivion elder scrolls, battlefield 2 and battlefield 2142.

What setting are you using?

Try turning off AA or soft shadows as these hit performance pretty hard.

Alternatively it could be a heat issue, although this doesn't seem too likely. Can you monitor what temps your card is reaching?

ofcourse .

118 temp is enuff to boil ur card. CONTACT NVIDIA service centre , tell ur temps to them , and wait for their answer .

I use PCI-Express. The bridge chip is the metal thing that connects an other card if you want SLi, right? ia-sneakpeek

No. The bridge chip is only used in the AGP version of the 7600GS and translates the PCI-E signal outputted from the card into an AGP signal so that it can be used in AGP motherboards.
