problems with geforce3?
I have computer Pentium 4, MSI 645 Ultra mainboard, Seagate Barracuda (40 GB) and Quantum Fireball (20GB) hards, 256 DDR (333) ram and Daytona GeForce3 Ti200 video card.
The problem is that computer lost the performance - at first 3DMARK test I got 6100 3dmarks and after some time began to felt that there is something wrong: games don't rum as smoothly as expected - checked with 3dmark ang got only 4800 3dmarks... Reinstalled the os (windows xp professional), downloaded the latest nvidia drivers, checked the bios. Theoretically everything is ok, but practically the games dont run as expected with geforce3. I took the card to another computer and, according to a man, who ran 3dmark test it reached around 6000 3dmarks. So where the problem lies? P.S.: may be somebody knows some good hardware test software to check mainboard and video? |

Hmm, the "Daytona" brand name doesn't look to be the problem, what are the specs of the other PC. What kind of P4, specifically what core?
If all else fails, you just need an Athlon  J/K.Logan

Actually, I'm running an AMD Athlon 1800+ with 768MB of PC2100 and a GF3 Ti200 and the highest score I've been able to get is 6796. That was by closing down EVERYTHING and CRANKING up the Ti200 specs to MAXIMUM OVERCLOCKING pleasure.
Your score doesn't sound THAT far off. |

It sounds like a possible cooling problem.
