Member is absolutely correct. These problems we are experiencing with older games on Nvidia cards are due solely to the poor support for older versions of Direct X provided by Nvidia's drivers. Heck, the problems with DOOM 3 show that Nvidia will disregard compatibility with games that are...

I'm finally going to buy a new PC. The last new PC I bought was back in 1998 with a 500 MHz PIII and a TNT2 Ultra. Back around 2001 (I think) I swapped out the CPU for a 1 GHz PIII, and later I replaced the graphics card with a 64 MB GF3, but aside from installing more SDRAM and an ATA-100...

If you have this MoBo, here is the folder for latest BIOS: ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/BIOS/Slot_I/INTEL_Chipset/i440BX/P3B-F/ The latest BIOS file is 1008f304.zip and it was posted 10/15/2001. I'm very glad to know that ASUS is still working to improve keep the P3B-F after almost 4 years!

I have found that GeForces, in general, don't like sharing an IRQ with anything else. The AGP slot shares an IRQ with the first PCI slot, so anything in the first PCI slot may be conflicting with your GFMX. You could try assigning IRQ 11 to PCI slot 1 in your BIOS, and move whatever card you may...

I'll stick with my SQ2500. People who've tried the Audigy don't seem to think much of it. Not like that's a surprise of course. Thanks all! Man, I was so looking forward to the SQ3500... grumble...

I'm seriously thinking about replacing my Aureal SQ2500. As much as I love this card, I don't want to worry about compatibility issues anymore. Is the Audigy X-Gamer the way to go or does someone else make a better soundcard? I appreciate your opinions!

Well OK, if everybody thinks HL is best in OpenGL then I guess I'll try it. I've been running in D3D on my TNT2 Ultra for a few years and it worked perfectly so I never bothered to try OpenGL. Thanks!

Well, D3D has worked fine up until now (when I switched from a TNT2 Ultra to a GeForce 3), and my ONLY problem happens when I go underwater. I've never owned nor played Quake so I didn't know about it being an OpenGL game. I guess if there's no fix for this problem in D3D then I'll try running...

Hey nvwebmaster, I've got a couple of questions for ya: 1. How do I fix the "opaque blue" or "hall of mirrors" effect when underwater in Half-Life running in D3D on a GeForce 3 using the Detonator XP v23.11 drivers? If Enable Fog Table Emulation is checked, I get the "hall of mirrors" effect...

I have OOL and I use the Motorola Surfboard (the one without the cutoff switch in the front) and I always get 1Mbit up/5Mbit down. Sometimes late at night I can get 6Mbit down. I'm very happy with the Motorola.

Just wondering if anyone knows how to correct this problem. If I disable Fog Table Emulation in the Display Control Panel I get the "opaque blue" problem. If I enable Fog Table Emulation I get the "hall of mirrors" problem. I'm using the Detonator XP v23.11 drivers.
