DirectDraw / Direct3D Test Failed
Good day everyone...
I recently upgraded my PC to a higher grade video card with more RAM (128 MB). The one mistake I made with the card is that I purchased a card with a PCI Interface instead of the AGP Interface.
On one of my games, I meet the
recommended system config, but yet during gameplay I experience dramatic frame rate fall off. After many e-mails with the game manufacturer.....they pointed me here.
When I run the "DxDiag" ....I'm failing the Direct Draw and 3D Test.
I did read about a bug regarding this test & the screen saver settings, but the fix did not help.
I've included all info I thought might be useful.
Sorry for the barrage of info below....I know how important some of this information can be when you're trying to troubleshoot, but I had hoped that I would just be able to attach the file instead of cutting & pasting like I did below.
Thanks for any help you can provide....It's appreciated.

One other suggestion. If possible, take the card back and exchange for an AGP card. The Geforce 6600GT is an excellent choice and will enhance your gaming even more. The PCI cards are really not suggested for gamers that have the AGP slot in their computers. The PCI is way to sloooooooooow.

When I put the PCI Card in, I don't believe I changes the BIOS setting.
How would I go about doing that?

Thanks. You have been real helpful.
I've been interested in upgrading the card to the 6600 series, like you suggested. That leads me to my next question....
- On the GT 6600, does that card need a direct plug into the power supply unit?
- If it does, does the Dell Demension 4550 have enough power in it's power supply unit to accomodate it? Someone told me that these cards need a minimum of about 300 watt unit. Wouldn't I need a power unit greater than 300 watts to be able to handle the card AND the other items running on my system at the same time? I'm not certain what power supply is currently in my system, and I'm really not in a rush to make another bad purchase...lol
Thank's again for all your help.

Thanks for your input...the 6600GT series looks like the way to go, but since there's been so much talk about the power, I'm concerned about the PC's PSU.
Are you confident that a 250 watt PSU is sufficient for the 6600GT? I need to know before I jump in with both feet here.
Also I noticed that Dell sells the 6600Gt card you recommended (it's actually cheaper than it is out in the market)....But I'm a little concerned about getting it from Dell... Does it carry the same lifetime warranty you mentioned? I no longer have support on my PC.
Thanks.
