I recently bought a Visiontek GF3 Ti200.
Now I'm a big game player and expected of course that the frame rates would be high.
Yet in my games I get horrible FPS (can't even break past 90 at it's best), and my 3D Mark 2001 scores are 3100 (yuck). I've even overclocked to 200/460 and my 3D Mark scores are only 3400 then compared to people with similar systems who get 6000!
I've tweaked every aspect of my computer and can't figure out why my FPS are just as bad as my previous card, a GeForce 2 MX.
I think my motherboard bios might not be handling the agp transfer rates very well, or what ever you call it.
So I'm going to get a Leadtek 7350 KDA motherboard, 300 watt powersupply, and Athlon XP processor hoping that it will fix what ever incompatibility problems I might be having.
Oh yes, and it doesn't matter what Nvidia drivers I have installed I still get bad fps, so it's not the drivers.
Here's my system specs....what do you guys think? Is it my motheboard thats the problem like I'm guessing?
Platform: Win 98 SE
Processor: Classic AMD Athlon 500Mhz Processor
Motherboard: Tyan Trinity S2380 K7 motherboard (KX133 chipset)
Memory: Rk-Byte 650 MB PC133 SDRAM
Hard Drive: Western Digital 60GB Hard Drive
Sound Card: Aureal Sound Card
CD-ROMS: Digital Research 16x10x40 CD-RW
Generic 50x CDROM:frown:
