hey,
i just upgraded my pc and i purchased a xpert vision radeon 9800se 256 meg card and put it in my nf7-s and xp 1700 (running at 1705 mhz 155 fsb) with 512 pc 3200 ram running at 412 mhz.
i was previoulsy running a asus geforce 4 mx440 64 meg ddr card and clocked 32 fps in hl2 stress test and 14 in doom 3. we then (b4 i purchased my card) put mates 9800se 128 meg in running softomd drivers ( 8 pipes) and i got 82 in hl2 stress test and 62.2 in doom3 , we then test another card the 128 meg geforce 5900 it clocked 89 in hl2 and 62 in doom 3 (wierd as each card performed was out performed in there designed games) anyhow i then i went to buy the 9800se but only had a 256 meg version for 50 more so i bought that. then got it to matesplace put it in and got 2 fps less than the 128 meg card ? what gives.
now comgin to the gaming side of things doom3 runs like a dream smooth as couldnt ask for much more ( exept fps which should when i get new cpu)
BUT hl2 playing cs source ( i onyl bit of hl2 i played so far) is fine while loading, but whenu get to a menu settings for instance when u open it the background flicers. and when playing the game i get slight to modereate flickering in the game? what gives a 250 $ card flickering on me, but whats confusing one game runs fine and the other doesnt.
any ideas on this would be great.
P.s i read somewehre taht someone couldnt unlock there 256 meg 9800se to 8 pipes as in it just wouldnt do it, i got atitool v0.0.22 and it says i got 8 pipes, and also running the *find max core* and *find max mem* options in the 3d window i get yellow and black chequers in a triangular array generaly on end of the tirangle going ot centre of the window. whats the go with this, is it possible to overcome?
*p.s when i run the drivers that came with it like withno softmod its fine no errors just half the fps.*
any info or tips would be greatly appreciated Thnx
