Hello, hopefully someone can help me. I am having a rather unusual problem. Least I think it is. I have a MSI kt3 ultra2 motherboard, 512 meg ddr 2100 crucial ram. AMD XP 2000+ CPU and an MSI Geforce4 TI4200 video card. First of all, what agp settings should i use? 4x? 2x?. Secondly, should i enable agp fast writes? And last, what are the other 2 settings in the agp setup in the bios which are like 1/2 or 2/3?

I also ran mad onions 3d mark 2001 SE and got a score of 4898! This seems a little low to me. Comparing online, I should be getting scores rannging from 9000 to 13000. I have installed Nvidia Detonator drivers but they are the latest beta drivers. Are these bad drivers? None of my games ever freeze except for Soldier of Fortune 2. It slows way down and when i ctrl+alt+del, it says i am using 100% cpu usage. Can anyone help me? I just want my system i bought a week ago to run at its full potential and have nowhere else to turn. :rolleyes:

ok set 4X AGP and fast writes and put it on 1/3 thats should do it

make sure you have 40.41 Dets for best scores in 3D Mark2001SE

What OS u using, it sounds like a memory leak, with SOF2 patch it i should fix that, your socre though is low, what res did you do the test in? did you build your system or buy it out a shop

make sure that aa is disabled in the nwiz and also turn anostropic filtering down or off. ps i think you may be aiming a little high with the benchmark scores. i would aim for about 7 or 8 thousand with your spec unless you overclock. also make sure that the disable support for advanced cpu controls is NOT checked.

hope this helps

I am using Windows XP Pro. I am running the 3d Mark 2001 SE with a 1024 resolution and no AA. I am also using a 32bpp color depth. The defaults when you load the program up for the first time basically. I never did get a patch for SOF II although I should have. Man do I fell like such a n00b.

Hey Jamie B, you said i should "disable support for advanced cpu controls is NOT checked". Where is that at?

Thanks to all who have replied. :D I appreciate it.

MistrRottnTreats,

Do not forget the latest 4in1 drivers from Via. Via has had a long history of problems with their GART Drivers.

Since you are running WinXP, you can get the nVidia Reference drivers for the Detonator 4 40.41 from their website. They will help improve your 3DMark2001SE Score.

Good Luck,

Richard
