DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - Graphics performance degrades when using this driver...

I have a fairly new PC with the following:

Intel I7 920
6 Gig Memory
ATI 4870 Graphics Card (Sapphire 4870 Toxic 1G)

I recently built this up with Windows 7 RC1 and the 5.2 DisplayLink software for Windows7....I have the HP USB Graphics Adapter. I found that my graphics performance was terrible on the non-DisplayLink monitors when trying to run a benchmark or a game. I completely re-installed everything so that I could test along the way and found that as soon as I installed the 5.2 DisplayLink software, graphics performance degraded to a point of unusable.

I uninstalled the 5.2 software and my graphics performance increased dramatically to expected levels.

I will have to wait to get released software that doesn't degrade the graphics performance of the rest of my system. In the meantime, I thought that this group would like to know for additional testing purposes.

Steven.
