No Wonder It Didn’t Work
When I was using one of our older computers as our HTPC, I cannibalized the video card out of this computer since it had a DVI port (and I wasn’t using it over the summer). I went to Fry’s and picked up a $50 card to use as a replacement because I knew that the integrated graphics probably wouldn’t cut it for my games.
Jump ahead to a couple weeks ago. Bioshock wouldn’t run, but I wasn’t terribly surprised. I played some GW and WoW last weekend though, and the framerates I was getting were horrible (around 20 at full screen, closer to 30 is I ran in windowed mode). Hmmm… that’s strange, I never had a problem running WoW at least on this computer before. Today I decided to swap the original video card back into this computer, and my FPS in WoW jumped up to around 50. Much better. No wonder Bioshock freaked out; if a computer can’t even run WoW, no way I’d expect it to be able to handle the awesomeness of newer games.
Coach Gibbins made me up a trainer schedule for the first time since I graduated with the football games (and times) that Iwill be working this fall. There are basically going to be 6, possibly 7, games where I don’t go to HP first but instead head either directly to a restaurant or the stadium that we’re playing at. That ends up being about half since typically the Thursday game will always be one where I don’t go to HP first, but on Fridays I will go with the rest of the trainers because of my class schedule.
