Ok, got my 1ghz KT7-Raid/1ghz tbird last night and got it setup and running (pretty easy too!). Of course first thing I do is run some Q3 timedemos. Whoa. 122 fps at 640x480x16? 67 fps at 1024x768x32? Somethings not right here as I should be hitting about 150 fps/76 fps (at least!)
So, I'm looking at suggestions for areas to look into.
Some info off the bat...
1) I did a clean install of 98SE, then the High point HT370 raid drivers, then the Via AGP 403D driver (in turbo mode) and the Via IRQ sharing driver.
2) I have my sound card in PCI slot 2 and a NIC card in PCI 6.
3) My video drivers are the standard Creative Labs GF2 drivers (I believe 5.14). I realize the Det3 drivers offer better performance, but I'd I'm below where I should be with these drivers and I'd like to eliminate the problem before I install the latest.
I dont *appear* to have any irq conflicts (that I can see anyways). I do have ACPI installed/active (cant turn it off in the motherboard bios, didnt know how to get 98SE to install without it (unfortunately?).
Any leads/suggestions/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
