GeForce3 ti200 giving TERRIBLE performance

[trixrforkids]

Problem: GeForce 3 ti200 card is performing, well, like crap.

here are the steps ive taken already to try and fix the problem:

Gotten a new mother board (the other one had a bad bios cip)

Reformated, reinstalled everything

Installed the latest motherboard drivers

Installed the latest video drivers

tried the drivers that came on the CD

Ive disabled anti aliasing

The card this STILL WILL NOT work well. It wont change the screen resolution and it generaly runs like junk. Frame rate drop, mouse lag, etc. Think Anarchy Online on release day

Anyone have any last ditch advcie for me before i just take this POS back and downgrad (or should i say upgrade? ) back to a GeForce 2?

sytem specs:
cpu: amd athlon 1.33ghz
mobo: msi k7t turbo 2 via 133a chipset
ram: 256 pc133
video: MSI G3 ti200-pro td
OS: win 98se

I assume you have tweaked everything in the bios 4x AGP, fastwrites, whatever. Sounds like your card may be a dud. Maybe borrow another gforce3 card from a friend and see if you experience the same problems.

What other apps do you have running while your benchmarking? I've heard of McAfee cause some similar problems.

can you try installing this card into a different machine and see if it works properly.?
