Asus V7700 caused Contoller problems... Help

I just installed an Asus V7700 Deluxe 32mb video card.  Now, my TSW is going
crazy.  It's like it's hiccuping.

This is a replay from N4. It's on lap with the optimized driver, sitting in
the pits for a few seconds with the DirectInput driver just reving the
engine, and another lap with the optimized driver again.

Here's an GPL replay that you can look at to see what it's doing.  I never
left the pit.  Look in the***pit camera.  At the end I wasn't even
touching the wheel or pedals.

I can't understand why just putting in a GeForce2 GTS would cause the game
controller to go nuts.  Yesterday it was fine... Today with the new Vid
card..  I can't race.  And you can't tell me the pots miraculously just went
in one day.

What version of video drivers are you using? I have a V7700 Deluxe and
have no problems like you describe. Maybe your vid card is sharing
resources somehow with your controller?

Here's what I've done and what I've found.

Ok, Here's what I've done...

-Installed various drivers from nVidia, including the latest.
-Moved the sound card to a different slot
-updated the VIA bios

None of that worked.

Replaced the GeForce2 GTS with the Voodoo card.. Voila!!!  All's well.  I
want the GeForce2 card, so what could be the problem.

The MS Sidewinder Precision Pro (Digital) works fine with the GeForce2 card
in it, but the TSW Wheel (analog) doesn't.

I have the same video card and a Ferrari FFB wheel.  I get
quaking/shuddering with the wheel in N4, but it works fine with GPL and
other titles.  I wouldn't have thought in a million years it could be the
video card....but I'll pay attention to that now.  I am using the NVidia
6.50 drivers because all the higher versions I have tried have zero
performance increase but cause other problems. Loser Asus still hasn't moved
to the Detonator 3 driver series, so that's a lost cause.

Marc.

11.01 detonator drivers have caused me no problems.

Do you get menu screen corruption/blocking in GPL?  In-game GPL is fine, but
the nVIDIA drivers have all had a problem with the menu screens for me in
GPL.  The Asus 5.33a drivers were fine in this regard, but slower than the
nVIDIA 6.50's.  Can you specify a performance increase in the 11.01's?  I
tried several right up to 10.50 and there was no performance increase (in
GPL or N4) over the 6.50's.

I don't have GPL installed right now, just built a new system so
reinstalling everything. I will install it later and get back to you
on it. But, no I haven't seen a performance increase with any of the
more recent drivers. In fact I found the last official drivers from
Asus gave me the best performance in Nascar Heat. But,  those drivers
are not directx8 compliant.
