XFX GTX275 compatible?

Second hand gtx 2xx cards are real bargains for those who game on a Full HD display, knowing that DX11 is a joke, unless you can afford a 400-500$ graphic card. I intended to make the upgrade, but a GTX470 is only 20% more powerful and I'd have to change both my PSU and my poorly ventilated case for the GTX480. ^_^

Yeah i got a used XFX gtx275 and its working good so far and m OpenGL shows versin 1.6.7 with a YES. Only problem is my Graphics/Display shows:

 

Unknown nVidia card:

 

Chipset Model: Unknown nVidia card

Type: GPU

Bus: PCIe

PCIe Lane Width: x16

VRAM (Total): 896 MB

Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)

Device ID: 0x05e6

Revision ID: 0x00a1

Anyway to correct the way the card is identified? and does it affect performance? Just want to make sure I'm taking full advantage of the card. Also what benchmark programs are useful? thanks

Informations displayed depend on the vendor of the graphic card.

My bet is, as far as you get QE/CI, good resolution and VRAM, you shouldn't give a damn to cosmetic blahblah. :)

 

 

how can i tell if QE/CI is enabled? and do you have benchmarks on your current card?

Just look at your menu-bar- is it transparent, rather than solid grey?

 

Also, go to dashboard and drop a new widget on the desktop- if it ripples, you're good to go with QE/CI.
