Reformat and Pray
The title is my solution to my current graphics card performance problems. My machine isn’t exactly shiny anymore. I mean it’s a little long in the tooth, and isn’t performing up to my standards anymore. A new video card and updated drivers have done nothing to remedy the strange graphics card performance problems I have had since the last reformat. I don’t pretend to have the faintest idea why this has been happening, all I know is that I am seeing really bad performance problems lately, and I hope that it isn’t a hardware problem, because that means only one thing, replacing my motherboard. I just can’t afford to do that now. I have this laptop from work that is really good, but a laptop just isn’t a gaming machine. So that mean’s doing the old reformat dance again. Copy the entire My Documents folder to another drive, then reformat and reinstall. Or, as they call it at my new place of employment, “slick” it.
