Hi guys

Got a bit of a problem with my Brand New Radeon 8500 128MB video card. When starting a couple games (Q3 engine it seems) my load times are huge.
My system was faster with my Radeon 32MB SDR!!!!!
Anyone have any ideas?
I have updated my MoBo drivers and downloaded the latest driver for the card but nothing helps
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
 
I was thinking of that but that is a load of workfor me to do
Mabe as a last resort !!!!!
 
Guess i got some work to do then
Thanx Guys

Okay here is a question?
I am a bit of a nOOb when it comes to this but do I have to re-install or actually delete my windows partition.
 
Ok then will i have to reinstall all my program that are on a different partition to re-assosiate them with windows?
 
Cyphre let me know tyhe outcome!!

Cyphre,

after you format and reinstall windows let me know if you got better performance, because i just upgraded from a G2 MX 400 64MB to a G4 TI 4200 128MB :D and i do not want to re-install XP, i have way too much time put into it right now (ie tweaks, home networking, file sharing, etc) that has taking me days to get it the way i want it.....but i also feel that i could get more out of my G4 video card..... my 3dmark 2001SE score is only around 8450-8650, depending on some settings, (i reached 8850 once but i forgot what the settings were, stupid VIA 4in1 4.40's), well thanks in advance,

RaZOR

ps... also, do those scores seem right? nothing is overclocked

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
