»SOS Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 How low fps?Sounds odd... latest drivers and all... is it always bad or does it just sometimes go bad? Quote
CeinWyN MaN+ Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 Press CTRL-ALT-DEL , click on processes, close all processes being run by the owner except for explorer.exe and any other things such as messangers, that should do the job. Quote
Mr Ekted Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 Is this just a new video card? Or is it a whole new machine? Quote
CeinWyN MaN+ Posted September 9, 2003 Report Posted September 9, 2003 uh..yea my post only applys with a new machine..:/ Quote
Guest PepsiCola Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Yes i algo got a new MB. Fresh copy of windows as well.Newest Motherboard drivers from from VIA (its a KT400). Quote
Guest PepsiCola Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Let me try to disabel all apps as you suggested. Quote
Guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Nope no change. Disabled everything not ran by SYSTEM and localservice, networkservice except explorer.exe and ran sub. By the way a guy on my squad also uses a radeon 9600 and he has no probs with it.. 300 frames as he sais. PPl on the sapphire forum said that the same prog accurs in Counterstrike and other older games. http://forum.sapphiretech.com/forum/topic....p?TOPIC_ID=1060 Ill see if i can exchange the card...

Guest Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 I am experiencing the same extreme slow down as you. Continuum runs faster in 'software emulation' than not (Can we say 'hardware decceleration?). I am only seeing this however with the CAT 3.8 drivers. I do not see this with the CAT 3.7 driver set. I will not go back to the 3.7 drivers though because I need the TV-Overscan support in 3.8. So................. U need to find another way to fix this.The most obvious way seems to force Continuum only to use the 2d driver from the cat 3.7's. Problem is, I don't know exactly which file this is and how to make continuum use that instead of the one in "%systemroot%system32" - Any ideas? Quote
Fluffy White Bunny Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Try different resolution and refresh rate combinations. Quote
Mr Ekted Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 Maybe update BIOS for motherboard. It has helped some. Quote
»nintendo64 Posted October 12, 2003 Report Posted October 12, 2003 The problem is not the VideoCard, It's the motherboard. Many people have experienced problems with it specially the ones that have AMD Processor with that brand of motherboard in many different games. -nintendo64 Quote
Guest Posted November 4, 2003 Report Posted November 4, 2003 I have the same problem with my new radeon 9800 128 megscat 3.8 drivers and VIA chipset with newest hyperion drivers Quote
