Troubles with TNT1 @ 1024x786 res

[NaughtyNu 0]

I've seen people have problems with their TNT drivers working with 2k, their TNTs working well and then there's a whole sub-vision of UT and Q3 problems and performance but I seem to have an unique one, I can't get any 3D apps running in 1024x786(16 or 32 colour)

 

I have an Asus v3400 TNT1 with all the goodies in it and I just scammed the v3.96 (whatever the # is, the newest from a couple of days ago) drivers and this problem is still there. I don't have this problem in 98 so I wonder why 2k is doing it.

 

Any sugestions?

Nobody has any ideas or suggestions as to why I can't run any 3d based program in 1024x786 without getting a bunch of crazy lines like I moved my monitor position too far?

 

Crap

now that you've given a bit more info, we'll try and help. Is it D3D or OpenGL (or both) that demonstrate this? What does DXDIAG say about your setup and refresh rates?

Do the 3d apps work above or below 1024x768?

And before that, have you tried checking the Application compatibility list at this site??

What res. do you use in windows it self?

hehe with a tnt1 u have no right to be running any new 3d game at 1024

Hey, just because Quake and UT don't run at their best in 1024x786 on a TNT1 doesn't mean everything else doesn't fly

 

Anyways, it is both D3D and OGL that don't work at 1024. My monitor can't go above it so I dunno about any res's above but everything below is fine. I run my desktop at 800x600. I am running the final build of W2K (no early beta or RC#.) I even installed the new 3.75 drivers and the same problems persist with a big fuzzy line in the screen like if the monitor was moved too far over.

Also the apps are anything - UT, Q3, 3DMark2000, Asheron's Call, you name it - everything at 1024x768 can't display

u know the more and more Iehar about it the more and more it sounds like a refresh rate problem. what EXACLLTY happens when it hits 1024x768?

[NaughtyNu 0]

What exactly happens?

 

At that res I get one single fuzzle line in the middle of my screen. I can see stuff in the fuzz but it's definently not legible. This only happens in D3D and OpenGL.

Thats Definately a refresh rate problem.

eww one single line eh? well that doesnt sound "healthy" at all you know it seems u have exhausted ur options, uv tried different drivers, uknow the comp supports it because it works in 98, we kno its not refresh rate, I recommend 2 things.

 

IS it pci pr agp?

 

goto device manger uninstall the card remove it from tis pci slot put it in another reboot and reinstall newest drivers. if that dont work:

 

Do a repair/reinstall of win2k. If u have space do a clean install and try the vid card again if it works THEN do a repair/reinstall over ur currecnt version.

That really sounds like a refresh rate problem.

 

Did you edit the vid card INF file to remove slow refresh rates?

 

Does your monitor have an on-screen display - does it show the current refresh rate?

[NaughtyNu 0]

It's AGP and I did not play with the inf file.

 

So, if it is a refresh problem, how to I move the screen over? My monitor has knobs that just shift the screen and nothing fancy. In 98 the Asus and nVidia drivers had an option to move and resize the screen in the display properties but I have yet to find any with nVidia's ref 2000 drivers.
