Well, the latest casualty to my DirectX problems with the Radeon 9700 is the UT2003 demo. It will always do it during the Asbestos Botmatch benchmark, about 20 seconds in just as the guy runs towards the large circular bit, it will freeze everytime. Here is the bug report again: // //...

A friend ordered his Connect3D 9700 Pro from the same place as me but a day after I placed my order, and he got a CD with all the multimedia stuff on (DVD Player, Modified Realplayer with support for the new deblocking feature etc). I only got a CD which was burned on a home burner with a...

Shawn Since using Reforce I've noticed that I can't get any OpenGL game to use fullscreen, they all run in a window now. If I remove the forced refreshes then they run fullscreen again. Seems either refresh needs an update or I will have to resort to Powerstrip again. Rob

UPDATE OK I installed the Mafia patch from ATI, and that fixed that. However it didn't fix any of my other DirectX problems. When Strike Fighters crashes and I have to reboot, XP comes up with an error log of the last crash. Here is what it says: // // Watchdog Event Log File // LogType...

Can anyone just verify that they can run Serious Sam 2 v1.07 in DirectX. Mine hangs everytime as soon as the tech test level is loaded and displayed. However if I run it with OpenGL and walk into a building, I can then change to DirectX and it will work without crashing for a while (probably...

Only as a test. Ok I'll give it a go, but with 2.2 and that patch I still got the same problems. Latest Via 4-in-1's and just updated the BIOS, which did say it fixed a compatibilty issue with XP and GeForce 4x00 so I was hopeful, but alas exact same problems. Power supply is 300W with only...

I was more than a little worried when I saw no "always on" option for vsync in the ATI drivers too. This was something I got used to with my GeForce 2 and 3. I haven't tested that many games yet, but so far I have been able to get vsync on in the few I've tested. ST:Voyager:Elite Force uses...

I am having problems with the following DirectX games with my new Radeon 9700 Pro. Master Rallye Mafia Strike Fighters Serious Sam: The Second Encounter I am running the most current Catalyst 2.3 drivers from the ATI website (12/9/02), and I know that a specific patch was released for Mafia...

Can anyone actually get Truform to work with these new drivers? In Serious Sam 2 (v1.07) I'm still getting white objects in the Truform technology room, in both OpenGL and DirectX. Rob

My impression of the card is nothing less than "I'm blown away", I know my post was mostly about the issues with card but these really pale in comparison to the positive aspects of this card. When I bought my GF3 I was hoping to get a card which would run everything I already played with at...

Thanks Shawn, that did the trick perfectly. I see from some older posts that my Truform issue is a known one, have to wait for next driver release for that. I think that ReForce app is actually better than using PS3 to create a custom res to force the refresh, many thanks for bringing it to my...

I've had my Connect3D version of the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro card for 1 whole day now and I want to share my findings with everyone here. 1. Digital connector is Primary on bootup. The first thing I did was to remove my 2 older graphics cards from my system, an AGP Geforce 3 powering my 22" CRT...
