Geforce3 T2 Frame Rates
I am in need of some help regarding my newly purchased video card. I have an Asus Geforce3 T2 installed onto the following system:
PIII 833 256mb PC133 Windows XP Soundblaster Live MSI-6303 Lite Motherboard I am experience severely low frame rates on all games. I orginally had Win2K on the system but upgraded to XP in an attempt to fix the problem. I have installed the latest nvidia drivers (23.11), 4n1(4.35 I belive) and AGP drivers (4.10). I downloaded FRAPS and during one game I registered an average of 9 frames per second. I have heared from a few people that adding additional ram will help so I have ordered an additional 512mb. Any other insights or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jim E |

Hi, I just upgraded to the GF3 Ti200 and it's fps were VERY disappointing. I'm using the DetonatorXP drivers from nVidia. I finally discovered, using Powerstrip, that it was running at 1x!! Although my bios was set for 4x, the latest VIA 4-in-1 drivers locked into 1x. I beleive they were the 4.35 or 4.36...in any case, I installed the 4.32 drivers off of the cd that came with my mobo and that enabled the 4x.
Now my 3dMark2001 scores are over 6000! Good Luck,

another tip: my G3 Ti 200 was running quite slow, however, increasing the i/o voltage from 3.3 to 3.5 brought it up to speed

Thank you for all the help. Is there a tool internal to XP that will tell me for sure what agp speed I am running at?
Thanks again, Jim |

Hey Prew,
How do you adjust your io voltage? I'd like to try that. Thanks, |

In my ABIT KT7 mobo bios setup (Softmenu) there is an adjustment specifically for I/O voltage. Don't know if your mobo bios has a similar setup though, but check to see if there is some type of voltage option in the bios setup.
