Solution to poor gf4 performance - Page 4

**umm... -** 08-30-2002, 08:02 | posts: n/a

actually.. my KT266-A is really stable and I never had any probelms with my Geforce 4. AMD 761 is also a good stable chipset. KT266-A and AMD 761/762 Irongate never gave me probelms.

I recently bought a vision tek Gf 4ti4200 and was only grabbing about 80-90 fps and was greatly disappointed till I enabled the vsync thru Unreal Tournament and it shot up to about 130-160 depending on the map, with 130 being the average usually. I got an xp 1800+ motherboard and 512 of ddr ram.

The only problem Im experiencing now is that UT seems to be really shaky, and cant figure out why, Ive installed the latest drivers and still for the life of me cant figure this out . I even looked at the refresh rates etc. This is driving me NUTS!

after many driver trys and hours of tweakin later. Im all fixed and my beloved UT runs better than ever!

MAN!!!! how this card work on you, because, i have it (Jaton Geforce2 MX200, 32mb, PCI) but i can find more than 1660 3dmark and quake3 sux. What do you have?

**What about this one? -** 09-15-2002, 20:38 | posts: n/a

What about this problem? I only get on average 40fps in UT2003 and horribly choppy graphics in Battlefield 1942. Here are my system specs:

Abit KX7-333 /w latest BIOS and VIA 4in1s
AGP 4x & Apature set to 128mb
512 MB Samsung DDR @ 333mhz
Athlon XP 1800+ @ 1610 (280 mhz bus, 140fsb x2)
PNY Geforce 4 4600 @ 324/729
Detonator 40.41
WinXP Pro /w SP1 installed
10281 3dMarks in 3DMark 2001 SE
SoundBlaster Live 5.1 /w latest drivers
Dlink DWL-520+ Wireless PCI Network Card
Western Digital 40 gig 7200 RPM Hard Drive /w UDMA100 enabled
Plextor 16x CDRW
Pioneer A04 DVDR
Maxtor 30 gig 5200 RPM Hard Drive /w UDMA66 enabled

Any ideas? I just can't figure out what my bottleneck is.

just the one: ut 2003 is still in beta and are you using the closed beta of battlefield 1942?

09-15-2002, 21:51 | posts: n/a

Nope I'm using the final of Battlefield 1942.

Will Rivatuner boost performance of GeForce 4 MX 420?

09-21-2002, 21:26 | posts: n/a

allright i had a problem with low 3dmark 2001 with geforce 4 ti 4400 and the detonator 40. the problem was the latest via 4in1's with the 443 version i got a 7000 with the 441 i got an 11009 i recommend that you download and install the 441 if you have a via chipset

**Via Chipset -** 09-24-2002, 02:01 | posts: n/a

I've been having problems with my GeForce 4 MX440. I have a Via KT333 (VT8235) chipset motherboard - the Epox 8K5A2+. Where can I get the latest 4 in 1 drivers for it?

As well as going back to win98 your cpu is letting you down. The old Celeron 700 uses a 66MHz FSB, so the data is not getting to your card quickly enough. I have a celeron 800 (uses a 100Mhz bus) and I can get over 2000 on 3d mark 2001 se on my 64 MB GF2 MX 400.

how do you downgrade? and I heard about installing 4in1 in "turbo" mode to enable 4x, is that true and how?

**Msi Geforce 4 4200 -** 09-24-2002, 19:21 | posts: n/a

Hi Everybody

I Just Finished read dozen of mails about Geforce and Performace.

I have a problema that I don't know how to solve.

My pc is:

Mobo Msi Kt266 Pro2 (Latest Via 4in1)
512 DDR
Athlon Xp 1600 (without o/c)
2 40 Gb 7200 Rpm HDD
3Com NIC
56 Kb Modem Intel Chipset
Creative SB Live
Msi GeForce 4 4200 128 MB
Detonatoe 30.82

And 3DMark 2001 S.E. result is: 7800 ! ! !

So I do what other member said: Turn of antialiasing, Put AGP Aperture Size at 128, Fast Write AGP, etc... and Try again... and the same result!!!. 7835

So I OverClock the Geforce (290/540) and INCREIBLE!!! 3DMark result is: 8300 !!!!!!!!!

What I'm doing Wrong?, Today I'll try to Install Detonator 40.52 and Try again.. but I don't think that this is the problem...

Any Idea?

PS: sorry because my english is horrible

is there a way to check the temperature of my gf4?

**A Solution -** 09-25-2002, 09:50 | posts: n/a

I fixed all my bugs with my gf4 by installing win 98 SE, it worked and i have had no problems since.

In UT2003, how do you show your fps???? What comand do you use in the console?

Thanx

09-25-2002, 13:44 | posts: n/a

Hey Pepole!!! I reach 10.000!!!

I went to my bios settings, load "Default settings" and only change 2 things: Agp Aperture to 128 and AGP Fast Write to Enable.

Then in Windows I loaded the latest Via 4in1 and Detonator 40.

I O.C. the Geforce 4200 to 305/553 and 3DMark result was 10032!!

The I put the Video in "normal settings" (without O.C.) and the result was: 9246.

Much better!!!

PS: This is a good performance or I can reach higher marks?

Thanks to everyone!.

it depends if your video card supports hardware monitoring. What is your video card manufacturer and model???

I don't think your video card supports hardware monitoring. To check though, any programs like rivatuner that helps tweak graphics cards should be able to use the feature if it is installed with the drivers.
