After installing the 9500 in my Athlon 1.33GHz 512M XP Pro machine I quickly was up and running Battlefield 1942 at 1600 X 1200 smoothly.
2 weeks later I installed a leadtek 2000 XP deluxe capture card for recording satellite. While installing this card my machine rebooted around 6 times before my root drive was toast and needed a full reinstall of XP. I was going to do it anyways so I withheld from tossing the Leadtek into a wall.
Anyways, I'm back up and the clean install went smooth. The Leadtek card actually is pretty impressive. After a clean install of bf 1942 and patches my 9500 is now sloooow. I've installed the latest drivers and even defaulted the card's opengl and d3d to performance settings ignoring quality. No difference, game is jerky at any resolution. Of course the capture utils are all shut down while playing.
Maybe a bios setting was change with the earlier HARD crashes?
Bios is set to 4X AGP and aperature to 256... Loaded latest mb agp driver also.
What did I miss? I have no background apps running and basically a very clean new install, even directx 9.0a.
Any help would be much appreciated, I might have to go dig out my old 3dfx banshee card and play Tomb Raider 1 or something!
