Slow UI on New Graphics Card

Support Basics & Interface
#1

I just got a Nvidia 6200 a while ago and have noticed the user interface is quite slow sometimes. Like when I mouse over buttons they seem to get corrupted sometimes. Also, an object with 3000 faces at subsurf level 2 is choppy and takes seconds to select all vertices. I noticed that the cpu usage goes up to like 100% when rotating the camera. Here are other system specs:

Athlon 3200+
512 MB Ram
Nvidia 6200
Windows XP Pro SP1

Yes, I have the latest drivers. I don’t have any problems playing the latest games (I play SWAT 4, Warhammer 40,000, and Unreal Tournament 2004 all at max settings flawlessly). I have virtually no programs running in the background and usually close to 300 free MB of ram according to the windows task manager. Anybody else have issues?

#2

Hmmmm, well I’ve narrowed the problem further. It seems to only be slow when using subsurfs and I go into edit mode then tell blender to draw in wireframe mode. It’s very strange. I can handle 500,000 poly object with no subsurf, but can’t handle 3,000 poly objects with subsurf. And everything works fine until I go into wireframe mode.

check and see if you have anti-aliasing turned on.
I think that can conflict with blenders UI
