PCI Modem causing GPL 1.1 25fps capping?

5 posts by 5 people · 14 Jul 1999 - 15 Jul 1999

Is everyone that has the 24-25 max fps using a PCI modem? I saw a thread here,couldnt find it again where that seems a posibility. Disabling my modem in win98 gives me back my rock solid 36 fps. And the good thing is that i dont even have to reboot everytime i disable/enable the thing. -- Vince Fisher

I've had the same problem, when I first installed the patch everything was ok, but I recently swapped my isa modem for a pci one and the frame rate dropped to 25fps. If I disable the modem enumerator, my frame rate goes back up. old isa modem -- motorola voicesurfr 56 new pci modem (low fps) diamond supra express

Rather than the modem itself, could this be a symptom of the bios latency timing being set too high. Rendition cards really loved having a high latency timing number, but that caused other pci cards to wait til the rendition was through with the pci bus. could the soundcard via the high bios settings be hogging the pci bus and cause the framerate slowdown? dave henrie
