Hi guys,
Right..here's my situation. I got my Asus V8200 Pure GeForce 3 delivered today, I removed my trusty GeForce 256 DDR, and everything was well - didn't install new drivers - I already had 12.60 dets for my GForce 256, I started up 3dMark 2001, ran benchmark (hopeing for an increase on my very poor 994 3dmarks with my system listed at the end with my GeForce 256 DDR in) but half-way through the nature benchmark, the video locked, needing a hard reboot - next I tried the demo, with sound, same again but I found out that the sound continued normally, leaving me to conclude that only the GeForce 3 had locked. I then increase my AGP aparture size to 128Mb from 64Mb with a noticable performance increase and no lockup..I was happy...until the benchmark result came in - a low 1340 3dmarks!!!! So...in the bios, 4X AGP - enabled | fast write - enabled (enabled already ... I just wanted to check). I installed the asus drivers supplied (10.40 I think) still no performance increase. I increase the AGP parture size to 256Mb to be on the safe side...as I experienced 1 more video lockup at 128Mb. I also installed the asus card control panel, which told me this : Bus Type: 4X (Currently 1X) !!!!!
This is my performance issue I think, checked bios, no avail... still stuck on this one. Anyone got any ideas? please help!
Sorry this is soo long....
