GF3 to 9700 pro

[MrPanther0]

WTF is up with this? I like otp of the line cards... in May of 2001 i had a 399$ GeForce 3 whic served me well until i played homeworld 2. I went out to circuit city which had an ALL IN WONDER Radeon 9700 pro for 250$ which i think is good... anways i come home and install is using cat 3.8 and it is BARELY any faster in homeworld 2... with 2 AF and 2 AA turned on it lags with only 2 battlecruisers onscreen... Im currently running a Athlon 2600+ with 512 MB ram on the nforce 2 chipset. Any ideas as to why its lagging on HW2 when the 9700 PRO should TROUNCE my GF3?

Use the drivercleaner from <A HREF="http://www.driverheaven.net" target="_new">here</A> then make sure you use Catalyst 3.7 because 3.8 has been blowing up hardwares.

Definitely try the driver cleaner utilities, hands down!

Bad 3.8 blowing up hardware. You better buy Nvidia.
