jessejlt Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Give us some more info about your system, specs etc. Without knowing that though I would say try some other drivers, and if your board supports it, make sure it's set to 4X AGP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted June 21, 2002 Subscriber² Share Posted June 21, 2002 just make sure your running @ 4x AGP and try using drivers included wif your card see if it improves or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKer Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Dungeon Seige works a treat on my GF3 Ti200 so it's not the card, I'de say it's the RAM as that is one complex game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Seb Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 Windows might be messing with the "old" settings and the new ones, messing them up. I say try reinstalling windows, and yes you NEED more RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKer Posted June 21, 2002 Share Posted June 21, 2002 I'de definitely look into a new PSU if it's below 300W as your system will demand a fair bit. Saying that from my experience when there's insufficient power systems tend to reboot randomly when playing games/pushing the hardware, if you've had this problem it could very well be your PSU (but there's no way of definitely telling). Aren't compyters buggers when it comes to money, just when you think you've future proofed it by buying something new another problem inevitably surfaces :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted June 21, 2002 Author Share Posted June 21, 2002 well, i got this gf3 ti200 for a gfx upgrade but it seems to have degraded....:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger H. Veteran Posted June 21, 2002 Veteran Share Posted June 21, 2002 did you check you BIOS for AGP 4X setting. That could be one even tho i think it was already at AGP 4X since you had a GF2 MX 400 which already supports AGP 4X. The thing i always do just for the hell of it is FORMAT when i get any new hardware. I just like the feeling of nothing from the old hardware is laying around. Almost like a brand new computer. So anyways... if that doesn't work contact me on AIM maybe i can be more direct when talking to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, another 128mb would be a *really* good idea. Most 128mb RDRAM dimms go for less than 50 dollars, while you can find 256mb dimms at about 80-85.

.KICK Posted June 24, 2002 Author Share Posted June 24, 2002 ah well i am gonna bite the bullet and get a 256mb stick so that should improve and then when i get that i am gonna format so i got a fresh clean computer....:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
