GeForce4 ti 4400 slow frame rate

OK 1st of all Thx every1 for helping.

Henry I got 6039 in 3dmark2001se like i said earlier. My comp specs are in an earlier post( just read up ).

The reason I didnt download that is because my problem doesnt have to do with the monitor Hz rather than with fps and because I dont have enough info on that (peoples experiences and such). I dont want to jup the gun and then mess sopmething up more than it already is.

By the way Arris I checked that and everything seems to be ok....im gonna try the NVmax next and see if that helps.


If I get this resolved I will post it here.

Thx again,

SX

Saw that ealierwhn arris posted it! Anyway, dun be so upset! Anyway, Ti4400 should be quite overclockable! Cheer up man!

Still working on it.

Does that mean you tried Nvmax?

I reformatted cause of other stoopid probs and installed everything brand new..... I still had the 75 fps prob but I used NVMAX and it got it up to 120 in UT ...if im alone i get up to 189fps...

Im not completely happy(cause i still get same score in 3dmark2001se)...but it will have to do for now...

Thx Arris and all who helped me.

I have read online and printed articles saying that windows98SE is better for gaming (proven with Benchmarks) but not that much that your score should be dramatically affected. But I would be tempted to stick in some DDR ram to see how that boosts the system performance rather than the old SDR PC133 ram...
Also make sure you have installed the motherboard chipset drivers that are needed. Check Asus website for latest ones.
I know that for my A7M266 I need the northbridge AMD760 AGP driver installed. Maybe you need the ALi equivalent. You can get the drivers direct from ALi but I would try Asus first.
Also the chipset on your motherboard isn't the best DDR one out of the 266 range. The KT266a and nForce ones beat it and so does the AMD760 in a lot of performance benchmarks
But yet again I don't think this can be held responsible for your low 3dmark2001SE performance.

Actually I am not so sure about DDR making a difference, especially in UT. Check out Tomshardware here, they bench the A7A266 with SDR and DDR so you can see the difference in framerates, but bear in mind that they test it with the Asus V7700 AGP, nVIDIA GeForce2 GTS, 32 MB DDR SDRAM and not a GF4.

Hey Arris, I see you have the same chipset as me the AMD 760. Have you thought about trying the program I suggested in an earlier post here:

I drop my system temps by 17 degrees fahrenhiet and improved memory bandwidth. Just a thought. Something you might want to tinker with.

Super

Yeah I probably will do. Currently I am away from my home country where my PC is, so it will have to wait until I get back at the end of this coming week (22/03/02)...
Don't really have a temperature problem since I live in Aberdeen in Scotland and my loaded temperature is about 39 Degrees celcius (Have ThermalRight SK6 heatsink)
The bandwidth improvements would be welcome though.
