ti4400 and Low FPS

[M0NEYSH0T]

Hi all--

I am writing because I am at my wits end in regards to my video card.

Here?s my setup, it?s a Gateway performance PC:

? GeForce 4 Ti4400
? 768 MB RDRAM
? 1.7 GHZ Pentium 4

That?s about all that?s pertinent to this issue.

I am getting the slowest FPS I have ever, ever, gotten.

I play a lot of America?s Army, and my frame rate runs between 15-25 FPS! When a friend of mine has a Dell, 1.8 GHZ, 256RM, and a GeForce 4 MX440, and he?s getting between 30-50 FPS! On top of that, I have a laptop that?s a 1.7 GHZ, with a 32MB video card and that gets between 35-50 FPS, and another laptop that?s a 2.4 GHZ that gets 40-60 FPS.

What?s going on with my computer? Is there something I can check? I even tried over-clocking the video card, but that doesn?t really do a darn thing.

Yesterday I reinstalled my OS from XP PRO to XP Home, and my frame rate improved, however, not as much as it should while running a Ti4400 video card.

BTW, my 3dMark is 1500...

Any help or assistance you all can provide is MUCH appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt

what detonator drivers are you using and do you have all the default settings checked?

 

[M0NEYSH0T]

I have the latest Detonator drivers from Guru3d.com, v45.33. And yes, I have ALL default options checked.

I am going to download the latest version rom NVIDIA, which isn't as high as the released version GURU3D...

Just took back my ti4400 to BB (that I bought in November 2002) and because of PNY's warranty, I just got a new FX5900. Benchmark is now, 4767!!!



I think the memory went bad in my Ti4400...

Thanks for your help.
