My friend is having a problem with his system. Here's what he has to say:

I'm having a problem getting my card to perform at its true potential. It should be kicking ass, but it isn't.

I have the following.

Creative GeForce 2 GTS
AMD Athlon 1Gz
384 MB RAM
Gigabyte 7ZXR mobo
Creative SB Live Player

Win 98 SE and Win 2000

I have tried almost everything and I get sucky scores in 3D Mark 2001. I used to get around 2500 but have recently got up to 3100 (using reference drivers). This still sucks!

I must mention that this seems to be purely a Direct3D problem... OpenGL games like Quake3, etc. seem to be performing as you would expect. I get about 96 to 104 fps running 1024x768 with everything turned on in the timedemos.

I'm at a real loss here... up until I took a look at 3D mark scores, I didn't even know there was something wrong... DirectX 8 problem? I've done all I could.

Any help or mutual complaining will be greatly appreciated!

make sure you have the most recent drivers for your M-board chipset installed.

i dont recognize that board off the tope of my head, but if it has the VIA chipet, get the most recent 4in1 drivers.

when i did this for my PC i jumped from 76 to 94 fps in quake 3.

luck, and later.

I would try an earlier version of DirectX then. You said you were using 8, right? I believe there is an uninstaller available for it.

He's tried with every version of Via 4-in-1 that he can find. Also all versions of his GeForce drives as well.
Could it have something to do with the 7ZXR mobo?
