Hi,
I've got a Visiontek 6564 which is proving to be a considerable D3D disappointment. Here's the situation: I uninstalled my Voodoo3 3000, deleted all Voodoo references in registry, and installed the Ti200. My fps in Sports Car GT fell by 25%, from 41 to 31 fps. Other D3D games show a similar decline. I'm using the 21.83 WHQL drivers and DX 8.1. I switched to the latest drivers and there was no change. My mobo is a Microstar 815E Pro, 512 ram, 667@900 Celeron, totally up to date bios, drivers, etc.
(NOTE: my son's box with an i810 chipset, 400 mhz Celeron, 128 mb, and onboard graphics gets 32 fps in SCGT!)
I put the card in my 2nd box with a different mobo (ASUS P3V4x), different proc (Cel 500), 256 mb, DX 8.0 and I still get 31 fps.
Next I reformated box #1, installed Win ME, nothing else but the game and I get 31 fps. Only when I reduce all the game settings down to close to wireframe do the fps rise modestly.
Since I have put this card into two entirely different boxes and finally reformated one of the two and get the exact same 31 fps, I don't see how the problem can be my computers. All card settings are on default; I changes a few, but there was no performance change at all. Both boxes are completely up to date with bios, drivers, etc.
Surely this thing can hold up against a V3 3000. What gives? Does anyone have any concrete information on whether the G3 needs a higher mhz proc. to get it going?
