| Problems with my new Albatron GF4 Ti4280 I've recently purchased an Albatron Geforce 4 Ti4280PV 128MB DDR card, and when runnging most games, it never seems to max out... I know realistically, it shouldn't max out in the most recent FPS, but, in counter-strike, I'm guessing it should maintain 100fps constantly, but what is happening, is it may maintain 100 fps for a few seconds, then it'll drop down to about 60, then 45, then as low as 12, before going back upto 99-100, the repeating the process.. I'm finding this to be quite annoying, as it puts you off, and generates a somewhat fake lag... I'm wondering if anyone else has had this sort of problem... I'm running CS in OpenGL mode, at 1024*768, and, in my driver settings I have verticalsync to always off, then pretty much the default nvidia drivers. my system specs are: Asus A7V8X motherboard AMD Athlon XP 2200 (1.8ghz) 256MB PC 2700 DDR Ram Albatron GF4 Ti4280PV 128mb DDR Vibra 128bit Soundcard 12x dvd rom 12*8*32 CD-RW 20gig hdd 4gig hdd D-Link 22mbps wireless network card Hercules SMART TV, TV tuner card 10/100 realtek network card Windows 98SE Any help/ideas would be appreciated |

| Ok, I downloaded the latest Nvidia drivers and installed em.. They havn't made any difference at all.. I played around with my bios a little so the agp features looked like this: Graphics apature size 128mb AGP capability 8x AGP performance write control enabled AGP fast write control enabled Video Memory cache mode USWC AGP Voltage Auto Primary VGA BIOS AGP Video Card This didn't seem to make any difference, either so I set them all back to the following: Graphics apature size 128mb AGP capability 8x AGP performance write control Diabled AGP fast write control Disabled Video Memory cache mode UC AGP Voltage Auto Primary VGA BIOS AGP Video Card Could it be my motherboard screwing up? |
