5940	2000-08-20 13:04:00	Struck a bit of a 'wall' here so I see if someone has the solution. Riva TNT v3400 ripped out and Leadtek WinfastGTS2 installed in its place yesterday. System specs Celeron 366 o/c @ 458 128 MB Sdram Asus p2B m/b Diamond sonic S/c Installed the reference drivers from Leadtek 5.22's (I think) which locked up during 3Dmark2000 benchmarking .so no result.3 attempts, 3 reboots So, I try the drivers with GPL (in 3d mode) no problems. TOCA2 no dice. . High speed / highly sensitive menu screen able to get part of way through set-up and lock up at car selection screen.. Same story 3 times. Cut a long (I'm sorry) stories shorter used Dets 5.33 and Dets 6.18 with some improvement. Managed to get some benchmarks in all other drivers. The results ranged from 3200 out to 3500. Not spectacular I realise, since my bottleneck is the CPU now, however I didn't expect software problems. Ok, I don't really care too much about the benchmarks.. But I do care I can't play my games. GPL (Grand Prix Legends) runs fine in different resolutions so far and now i get nearer to a race in Toca2.as far as selecting car and set-up and hitting key to start race. I see the AI cars on the Grid and then freeze mode several attempts later and no change .so I can recreate this problem at will. warm / cold reboot no difference. What I was wondering was whether I should change the AGP from 1x to 2x, I ran a program called AGP info and it has 1x and 2x both ticked I don't know what this means. Maybe I'm just too tired to think clearly now as I'm feel I've overlooked something simple. Oh, btw. Vsync on or off no real difference in 3Dmark2000 score. That was yesterday trial.. Today really struck wall, I've exhausted everything I know changed things like agp aperture Size from 128 mb down to 32 mb .no difference of any note benchmarks vary slightly. So I cleaned out all traces of drivers and clean installed the 6.18's now even GPl won't run for more than a lap without locking up, tried a new game GP500 (was on special ) and this is a little different in it's actions from when I start the game, screen goes all hazy in appearance then clears itself as it loads up intro screen then the freeking game locks up at setup screen. I never thought a card could cause me so much grief.	Guest (0)
