polarcat 0 Posted June 7, 2000 Since I got Asus 5PA mobo I was having frequent freezes on my K6-2 550 w/ Diamond v770 (TNT2), when I was surfing the net I tried to not to "breathe to hard" and don't make "sharp scrooling" in browser window, as it was a sure fast way to freeze my system... Now several days ago I discovered the ZOIAH HQ site @ www.xs4all.nl/~bmsmit and after downloading and flashing the newest available NVIDIA refernce bios (well actually an engineering release), I'm finally through with my freezing problem! Hurray! So if you're having a problem, of which your video card could be a contributor to, it might be a good idea to try and to flash a new bios. BE WARNED: Read all the instructions/precautions before attempting to flash a new bios.

ParaDoX 0 Posted June 9, 2000 Well, this f*cked up my card. I've got a Creative TNT2 Ultra. I flashed it with the newest bios, rebooted to win2k. Now I get 20.1-30.2fps in Opengl, and 11.1 in D3D. Tried restoring it with my old bios, still the same results. Then I flashed it with an offical Creative BIOS, still no luck. Get ****ty fps in both Win2k and WinME, tried different drivers too Update: Turn out that the VSync suddenly was turned on, turned it off and everything works perfect now ------------------ P2 400@516 ABit BX6 2.0 Creative TNT2 Ultra 192MB Ram WD 8,4GB WD 30,7GB Teac 4x/12x CD-R Creative 5x DVD [This message has been edited by ParaDoX (edited 09 June 2000).] Share this post Link to post
