Operation Flashpoint has dots, blobs, with OC geF3 Ti 200

[Flatbroke]

I got this card to be able to get orig Geforce 3 card fps (@220/440). I have 1gig 266 OC to 1.33gig, 2 40gig hd in raid, sound blaster value card, 512 meg ram. I get 1/2 sec. pauses in il-2 flying game at default 175/200, so that's not an option. (never had pauses with GeF2 Pro 32 meg @default) When I try to do 220/440 OC , OFP (and UT) has colored blobs on the ground and in the sky, and at ANY OC settings ,flashing white and black dots. Anyone been able to OC and not have flashing white dots in OPF and UT? If so, what settings? Thanks

verify the fan is operational on the geforce3 card itself ( I have heard that sometimes it comes unplugged during shipping ).

I would get the newest drivers from nvidia.com and then remove the software that you are using to overclock and see how that works. If not, then uninstall the video card and any software, then reboot, then reinstall the display card with the drivers from nvidia.com and see how that works. Just some things to try out.

The only time I get the dots you are describing is when I have my geforce3 Ti200 overclocked too high, so i just lower it and retry the game and it works perfect.

Hope this helps

Thanks, best I could do in OP is 200/445. At 1600x1200 no AA, --it looks good. I get streaks in 3dmark2001 tho, guess I just didn't get a sweet card. BTW, my video info page says 4.13.01.2185 for drivers, 21.85? off the cd, anyone else get that cd in the box? I now have a speed setting tab, didn't see one until after I install NVMax. Tab goes to 240/6xx.
