donald 0 Posted May 28, 2002 Hi have a small problem with my GA-8IRXP and Geforce 4 4400 from creative, i dont get good frame rates Ran the following benchmarks 3D MArk 2001 SE and got 4400 and GL Mark gave me an average of 21 FPS. Using FRAPS in flashpoint i get 14 FPS, Jedi Knight 2 only 18 fps and comanche 4 gets me 20 fps. demo for SOF 2, and the columbia map plays fine at 20-30 fps but the ship one plays at 1-4 fps outside and 10-15 fps inside Now i usually run with all options enabled, and at 1024*768*32 I have a P4 1.7 with 512MB RAM and shutting everything down doesn't help at all. I have XP and the 28.32 drivers. Soundcard is a SB Audigy. Any ideas on improving performance? i was getting better results with my Geforce 2 Pro! Thanks Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted May 28, 2002 It is quite slow for that machine. Gigabyte machines make a lot of Bios changes. Go here http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/home/a_bios.htm to download the utility that can update your Bios through your internet connection. Gigabyte also has its own "overclocking" utility: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/home/eztune4/et4_index.htm It may have come standard with your board. At the resolution that you are running that card, the CPU is still picking up the load. You might also check on the creative drivers. Despite the fact that it is Nvidia, creative does play with some things with its own software. Share this post Link to post
Palos 0 Posted May 29, 2002 Did you install all the i845D drivers? Like the Intel .ini or the AGP drivers? Share this post Link to post
