In Q3 if i stand facing a wall i get 90+ but as soon as I turn away i get around 40FPS. ive tryed 800x600 and up, 16 or 32 bit makes no differance. with my GF2 GTS i used to get 90+ ALL the time. im Q2 i had 200+ now i get 70!

Ive tryed formating, changed drivers, changed DX, messed with the BIOS, taken all my PCI cards out and formated (from ME to 98SE) it makes no differance

TB 1.3

Did u check your AGP settings?

What if your life moved.....2 inches to the left?

im on 4X AGP with fast-writes and side band addressing

Hmm those options MAY be the problem. I heard those two can cause more probs than improving performance.
I am sure it has to be a BIOS setting. Otherwise, the card may be defective or its drivers, and I'd recommend trying another of the same. If not, it could be a motherboard issue. Have you updated the mobo driver?

Turn off fastwrites and sba, also make sure your agp apeture is 128 or larger, but no more than half your system ram.

Also make sure your anti ailasing is off or at qunicunx, and if you have turned up alot of features you may experience a better looking but slower fps experience.

Make sure you install the det 21.83's and everything should play nice.

i turned off fast-writes and side band addressing and gained 10 fps. im using 4in1 437 (newest) and DX8

i set the agp apeture is 128 (1/4 of my ram) and shadowed the video bios im already running on det 21.85. i set everything to max (32 bit high detail @ 1034x768) and get 135 on a stress demo that i made. not super but i can live with that . tanx for the help all!

Try in other games, to see how it improves and yes check out the features enabled. Sometimes a new card performs differently with old games...
