I just installed a different gf4 in a computer and whenit boots up it says something like:
Geforce 4 4600
Bios Version xxxx
128mb DDR

When I reboot my comp doesnt display anything about the card.. just straight to the bios.

I was just wondering if PNY disabled this feature or something.. ?

I know it's know an answer really but, does it matter?
Besides, probably saves a second or 2 when booting up.

Yeah.. I guess so.. but its also kinda sweet to show off at lan parties

I believe it is because when you reboot you're doing a soft boot (instead of a hard boot)

i have a visiontek geforce 4 ti-4600 and it does the same thing. it doesnt show nothin about the card when u boot. it doesnt matter if is hard boot or soft boot. is there any way to enable this option.

Search on google.com for the - NVIDIA BIOS Editor. That will probably allow you to enable it. Still wouldn't bother though

Yeah I don't really get it...I mean, you wanna show off, just play that game at that LAN party on 1600x1200, 32 bits, with FSAA...That'll show em...Who cares about whether it shows up when you boot or not?...

Open up a benchmark program...Go in your video card options...There's better ways of "showing off"...


Big D.

yeah.. I was just wondering if the card's bios was messed up or something.. but looks like there isnt anything wrong.. well thx fer responses.
