I have the MSI FX5600 128VTDR card. Bought late last year and I thought that
at last I was doing ok. For once an uptodate vid card....wrong!
Since then I have tried to get it to work properly...very few games though,
mostly FS2004 and Links 2001. With links I rarely get the full grahpics
options. Very disappointing to find that it seems to react like a low-grade
card. For those that know Links, I now cannot get the reverse shot, and if I
select panoramic view, there is no selection for normal view on the green.
Almost no graphics options.
This has mostly happened since I upgraded from ME, and 2000 PRo to WinXP!
In the settings section I cannot activate the AGP options which are not
greyed out but remain white and blank and the info tels me I have a PCI
card. The mobo is AGP x 8.
In the readme files, NOT ONE of the drivers I have tried actually states
that the FX5600 is covered, despite MSI website clearly stating that the
FX5600 is.
My sys:
Asus 800 Delux Mobo
CPU Intel 2.4 c
2 x 512 Mb ram dual channel.
MIS FX5600 VTDR vid card
I have tried a number of MSI drivers
Current driver rolled back to 45.33
Is this a peculiarity of XP? And, does it not require Links 2003?
