Asus V7700 with MSI 6337 (815E Pro) motherboard

[cwchan]

I have an Asus V7700 64MB card on my MSI 815E Pro (MS-6337) motherboard. Before this, I used Intel 815 Intergrated VGA driver as my display card. My processor is PIII 800EB. I have some problems regarding the Asus card:

1. I can't install the Asus GART software provided as I can't find a suitable motherboard chipset option when installing. (mine is Intel 815E) What should I do?

2. I can't install the SmartDoctor. An error message "... monitor IC unknown..." occurred. What's the problem?

3. I can't see any improvement on some games (eg. Unreal Tournament, Evolva). Any guide/tool on how to optimize my Asus graphic card?

4. Since I installed the Intel 815 Intergrated VGA driver before, must I reformat my hard disk drive for my Asus driver to function properly?

5. How can I know my Asus card used its 100% (or almost) power to render games?

Thanks and hope to hear from you ASAP.

1 You dont need to install the gart drivers from the Asus driver cd since the most recent Intel inf set are on the Msi driver cd. 2 Im not really sure about why, Did you try the lastest version of Smart Doctor 1.09 thats avaible for download fixed, a few issues like ones that you have described. 3 A gforce 2 is only going to give you a extra 10 fps over a gforce ddr so dont expect too much improvement. 4 Having those intel video inf files wont do a thing so dont worry about uninstalling them. 5 Just overclock the card as far as you can go without getting artifacts and tweak your 3d3 and open gl settings like any Nvidia gforce card. If your using the Asus dulexe version then you need to use Asus beta drivers if you want to have the video capture and tv out to function otherwise you can just use the Nvidia drivers to stay more current. Good luck
