Does anybody know if the latest nVidia drivers work alright with a Gainward Ti4200 64MB vid card?
I can't seem to run 3DMark, it says that "3DMark2001 SE was not able to detect the required minimum features in your accelerator." HELP :(

I was having some problems in MOHAA with my Gainward GF4 Ti4200 128 Mb and installed the latest Detonators and they seem to have gone away.

I did download the latest nVidia drivers from their site, but it still does not work??!
i ran DxDiag and it passed the DirectX7 tests, but on DirectX it failed with the following message:

DirectDraw test results: All tests were successful.
Direct3D test results: Failure at step 5 (GetDeviceCaps): HRESULT = 0x8876086a (3D not available)

I spent the whole day with this problem, and i'm ready to give up, this is hopeless, you'd have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out.

1) Click on your start button and go to RUN
2) type in dxdiag.exe
3) Click on Display Tab
4) Disable Direct3D Acceleration
5) Exit and reboot your computer
6) Upon reaching desktop, go back to dxdiag.exe
7) Re-enable Direct3D Acceleration

Done... and I'm not a rocket scientist :D
hope it works for you... it should anyway.. I'm 90% certain
