Re: For those with bad PO in GP3

I've had problems with newer reference drivers with my Banshee board, too -- try manually setting the clock frequency to 100/100, or slightly less. The drivers I'm using default to something my Creative Labs card doesn't like, I guess, because when I set the clock to 100/100, it's pretty stable; right now, I'm running at 96/96, I believe, and I'm getting very good frame rates in F12K. -- JB In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote: > Make sure you have the latest DX7.0a installed on also that yourdisplay drivers > are meant to be used with DX7.

Make sure you have the latest DX7.0a installed on also that your display drivers are meant to be used with DX7. My Banshee gives much better framerate with the latest DX7 optimized drivers, too bad it keeps crashing with them too :(

If it's NT5 (Win2000) you're talking about, see ntcompatible.com. The reference drivers from 3dfx come with clocking set at 110, which is too fast (was for me anyway; black screens). You can set it at 100 in the registry somewhere. Where exactly is obtainable from the .inf file that comes with the installation. I have a Banshee running relatively fine. It's just the OpenGL drivers are not really OpenGL compliant. At all. nVidia next time.

I tried doing this, but no change. Ten seconds into a race and bam, the screen freezes, sound loops in the background and I have to reboot. The same thing with SBK2000.
