I've been using ATI Xtasy since it was released. I've been able to do everything and anything with it, and have been using it to run SL for about 4 months now, since the last patch I cant stay inworld for more than 3 minutes without locking up and being kicked out. Then I have to restart my machine.

Did the last patch change so much that this vid card is no longer usuable ? Its PCI express with 256 DDR, and has had no problem even when some of my friends have been lagged to hell and back. Anyone have any ideas ?

ATi Card

11-07-2006 00:17

Ever since the latest SL patch came out. I have been experiencing some stability issues. I have an ATi X800 Pro and it will let me play for about an hour and then my screen will go blank and my machine will totally freeze up forcing me to restart. I wonder if this is a problem isolated to the ATi cards, or not. Or if anyone is experiencing similar issues too.

I also posted about something similar this morning. This has been happening since the last update for me too...however, I am on a ATI x300 so that is likely part of it.
