Possible fix!

I had these problems until I used REForce to lock my refresh rates at 85Hz. Now all the artifacts are gone

:-? HMMMM, I never thought about the refresh rate having this effect. I use refresh fix to sort out my rates. It seems to work well for me. I will try turning on V-Sync in the game and see how it goes.

Thanks.

Tonezone.

ps - just in case I still have this problem can you point me in the direction of REForce? :wink:

ati2dvag.dll

it seems to be a Giga-byte mainboard only issue?

the ati2dvag.dll bsod is a hardware conflict issue, and usually resulted from conflicting irq settings. find out what other device share the same irq as your ati card (tend to be a sound card) and set their irq to be different in bios. a more forceful approach is to move the conflicting device to pci slot 5, which doesn't share irq with any other devices. check your mainboard manufacturer for the lastest bios.

i had this ati2dvag.dll bsod issue since summer. after testing on different os and hardware settings, it was determined to be a hardware conflict (non-defective) issue. i solved it by moving Soundblaster Live to pci 5 and 3com nic to pci 3.

I am running several benchmarks & timedemos before posting here.
O!K the 41.xx are slower, but next month there will be a 50.xx dets which are even faster than 30.xx. Thats nvidia.


Hi. Ultraflexx. I'm new in this forum. Trying to catch up with you guys, late reply, sorry. I do have Geforce TI 4200 64mb and 2 ATI Radeons 8500 128MB LE: 250mhz/250mhz. In synthetic benchmarks for example 3D MARK 2001 SE Nvidia scores more points than Radeons but doesn't perform well compare to Radeons in games as such Mafia and GTA 3, plus new upcoming games are more CPU intensive than before. the Radeon 9700 drivers under opengl are not fully optimized yet for Athlon XP cpu but instead perform better on Pentium 4 platform but above 2.4 ghz. ATI Radeons 9700 usually if not always depent more on CPU power than Nvidia's Geforce 4 4600.

9700 pro artifacts and fps drops

Got the 9700pro (Gigabyte Maya II). Basically a reference ATI board with Gig's own hsf and ramsinks on gpu side.

I have occasional fps drops in games like UT2k3, Q3-Urban Terror, and RTCW. I've had it drop to 60fps while in game after 15 or so minutes. Artifacts will show up after about an hour of playing. Any ideas? Not overclocked and running latest WHQL Catalyst 3.0 drivers. BTW - I don't have that stutter that everyone else seems to have.

Would ramsinks on back side of the card help? I do have a side case fan blowing right onto the card and a slot fan under the card.

Got the 9700 pro since it's launch and the only problem i had was "stuttering" and it has gone with catalyst 3.0 , currently i'm using latest omega modified drivers and it has never been so nice !

It's true that catalyst are mostly optimised for Pentium4 and it deals not the way it would do with Athlon XP and opengl about speed .

But the actual drivers with DX9 are brilliant , at least for me regarding bug free .

For those with cooling problems: Have you tried removing the fan, then the needless metal shim around the core, and then replacing the fan with the stock or better, so it actually makes contact with the chip? It made a great difference for me, with my 9500np modded to 9700. I have it running at pro speeds (350+ core and 320 ram, and the core shipped at 275 ram 270 Tongue ).


My computer? Super, thanks for asking!

Only one Problem here

C&C Gen. wont run on my two rigs on a LAN.....w/xp pro

Both are Asus A7N8x (non delux)
Both use the onboard LAN
Both Hav 9700s pro
Both have tried every version of C&C there is(including cracks,JIC)

Plays fine on both systems in single,but multi is a joke(along with online play).

More of a rant about the game than cards,but still.....
We can build a few minutes sometimes,a few hours another.....
Sometimes it disconnects,sometimes BSOD on EITHER machine?!

Sad state of a game,,......

In my conquest to find the "problem" with the game......
1.Stretching your desktop can mess with V-synch with ATi
2.Never use but ONE refresh fix @ a time
3.Realplayer is buggy with RM8 and under(RV9 works fine)
4.Asus A7n8x defualted to the wrong cas in BIOS for 2700 mem(2-instead of 2.5)
5.Re-installing drivers do not help XP(a manual safe boot/removal)
6.ALways but always NEVER RULE YOUR SOUND CARD OUT!!!

I have two diff soundcards-SBpci512/SC-TB
In Nascar 2003,I had poor FPS in one machine and turned the sound off and discovered FPS.....I can only set it to 8 sounds with the PCI512...Santa Cruz can run wide open...

I have lots of ideas of what could be "improved" in ATi drivers....but I think game publishers HAVE to help(they do with NV)....
