Hello fellow nerds of the internet. I built myself a nice new computer yesterday, I7 3.44ghz, windows 7 64 bit, 16gb ram etc but the video card is the ASUS AMD 6970 knock off aka HD 6970 Direct CU2. I have had absolutely no problems watching videos or any of the normal day to day running of the machine and am able to use the higher resolutions for my monitor, except the moment I attempt to play a game, the game crashes anti climatically revealing my desktop. Whilst I am grateful for the lack of full system crashes, I built my gaming computer for get this GAMING, so I am a tad bit annoyed. I also attempted to do a windows machine rating; however that failed coming up with an error report…
The windows experience index for your computer could not be computed
Could not measure video playback performance
When I attempted to launch Star Wars The Old Republic I received the error report…
Error code: 7 incompatible system. Please verify your system is compatible with this game.
When I attempted to launch Crysis I received the error report…
Unsupported Video Card “ASUS EAH6970 Series” [vender = 0x 0x1002, device= 0x6718]
Continuing to run may lead to unexpected results of crashes.
I have already reinstalled the graphics card drivers and updated Direct X11. I am running the latest version of windows 7 service pack one. I have suspected that this may be a DX issue, however I would prefer to know what other people think before playing around with the registry. If at all possible I would like to avoid a full system wipe.
