Glad to know it's not just me and my card is about normal! I have an Asus A7M266-D board with the AMD chipset on it. I've run AGPGART and had no trouble and am now running Nvidia's AGP and so far haven't had any trouble. On Fri, 30 May 2003 22:13:42 -0400 Brett I. Holcomb [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, Ernie. I'm running 1024x768. It's good to know that the drop is normal. I guess Gears doesn't like full maximized windows. I'm not going to mess with overclocking. On Saturday 31 May 2003 04:35 am, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Fri, 30 May 2003 22:13:42 -0400 Brett I. Holcomb

Yes, it has a fan. However, I'm not a fan of overclocking anything. I may try it later when I have time. Right now I'm troubleshooting a RAID problem that is very intermittant and trying to get a backup system going so if I loose the RAID again I can recover without the install! On

That's why I've never owned a system with a VIA chipset. They have too many problems. On Sat, 31 May 2003 11:05:04 -0400 Brett I. Holcomb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Glad to know it's not just me and my card is about normal! I have an Asus A7M266-D board with the AMD chipset on it. I've

Strange things here. I rebuilt the system (my RAID went bad) and now without trying - I did the same as before: merged nvidia drivers, glx - I get around 3200 FPS from a Geforce3 Card with 64 meg of memory. update-opengl didn't make any difference. I get around 24000 fps if I switch to a

And even more interesting. If I maximize the gears window and leave it with focus the FPS drops to 500-1000 FPS. Is this normal? Strange things here. I rebuilt the system (my RAID went bad) and now without trying - I did the same as before: merged nvidia drivers, glx - I get around
