Why are detonators cauzing so many issues on my win2k system???
its beginning to jack me off big time!
win2k
sp2
via 4in1's 4.32
agp patch & port driver
directx 8.1
tried various settings: athlon 1200C @ 1200&133, 1333&133, 1350&150.
asus a7v133
leadtek winfast geforce2pro 32mb
sb live
512mb pc150 sdram
DRIVERS TRIED AND ISSUES WITH EACH
1. 6.6.6 - (offical from leadtek webby) - mega slow d3d, sluggish mouse control, framerates that seem to max out at ~20fps for games, but unaffected open gl. gives me 1100 3dmarks (usually i get 4300)
2. 6.6.7 - same issues as above
3. 7.76 & 7.97's - good d3d performance (3900 3dmarks), but opengl in quake2 is very corrupted and unfixable. monitor refresh rates seem to be mysteriously limited to my monitor defaults 60, 70 & 72 (usually i also have the options 75,85,95 & 100).
4. 12.40's - memory leaks in UT.
5. 12.41's - (official) best result so far (4300 3dmarks), most stable in all the games ive tired, BUT i CANNOT GET THE OVERCLOCKING TAB TO APPEAR! (no coolbits for me)
also, monitor refresh rates limited to 60,70, & 72.
5. 12.60's, 12.90's 14.10's, 14.20's just shite. absolute crap. most common issue seems to be "laggy mouse" where the frame rate drops (may or may not be connected) and my mouse movement lags by about half a second in d3d games.
HELP!
why are there soooo many issues here?
and how can i get the overclocking toolbar to appear using the 12.41's?
p.s. the rivatuner program is useful, but its overclocking settings never "stick" and always go back to default whenever i close the window. powerstip is a little more effective but it doesnt allow small mhz changes. seems to change in 7-8mhz increments.
can someone reccomend anything else i can do? ditch the via drivers perhaps? reinstall windows as 'standard computer' and not ACPI?
please help. if u need more info just ask.
