Question
Atradies
Computer specs are:
AMD 3.2ghz Hexcore ( 6 core ) proccessor
Radeon 6950 2gig vid memory
4 gig ram
Windows 7 home premium
--------------------------------------------------------------
After I built this system, I figured Second Life would run like a dream. I'm having a ton of graphical problems. Avatars look terrible. Sometime they are grey, other times I can see them but their clothes are imbedded in their skin. Kind of like a clipping issue. When I move to a new area, loading times are very long. My framerate is around 10-15 fps. I've messed with all the settings. Even when I put the graphics on low, the framerates don't get any better.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Well, since I can't find a reply button I guess I'll post my progress here.
Did the speed test (which I have done before.) 15MB download from Dallas and San Fransisco. Ping is fine as well. When I installed the new GPU I downloaded the newest drivers and they are OpenGL certified. So pretty much everything that you mentioned checks out above standards. I understand the load times are long because there are so many objects but the framerates are just unacceptable. I've watched videos of gameplay on youtube and even though objects are still loading, the framerates are fine. Mind you, games like, Battlefield Bad Company, Crysis 2 and Champions online run smooth as silk. I guess I'll just keep messing with the settings. Thanks for your input though. :)
