I've just built a new nachine as follows:
Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI board
Gigabyte GV-3DI card (the twin 6600GT gpu that came with the board as a
bundle).
1 gig elixir ram
120 Maxtor Hard drive
Colorsit 550Watt PSU
AMD Athlon64 3.2 Skt 939
Software:
WinXP SP2 and all updates
DirectX 9.0c
3Dmark05 and Joint Ops (a game that came with the card) No other progs
installed at the moment.
Problem - The graphics are AWFUL!
Using the included drivers 3Dmark gave a score of 5906 BUT in the second
part of the test the screen was just totally scrambled
Joint Ops runs but there are parrallel lines down the left hand side of the
screen and a single line horizontlally in the middle of the screen. Where
they cross is a solid rectanglular block of colour. Green if it matters
Screen set at 1024x768 x 60Mhz
Exactly the same results occur with the Nvidia beta 77.76 drivers.
There is a 'tweak' programme on the driver disk but any changes made with it
from default make things worse as does using any of the preset Nvidia game
settings.
What am I missing?
Many thanks - Jb
