Hi, I've contacted both Visiontek and Nvidia about this and they both have all but just about given me the finger. I was wondering if perhaps someone here could help me figure out what the hell is going on.
I have a Visiontek GF4 Ti 4200 64mb card and am currently runnign the drivers that came with it, which are the 27.51 drivers. Well, it works 100% perfectly in all games, and in 3dmark 2001se. Well, the same day I got it, I tried all of the newer drivers up to 30.82 (at the time) and ALL of these newer drivers have not worked properly. I even tried the drivers from Visiontek's site, as well as the Detonators from nvidia.com and like I said, they have all not worked. For the last 3 months I've taken a "if its not broke, don't fix it" attitude about it and I've kindof gotten tired of that......I neeeed working NEW drivers for the added features and performance increases. So anyways I've also recently tried all driver versions from 30.82 to 40.72 and still nogo. Yes I do believe I properly uninstalled previous drivers before updating.
Well here's what it is doing when I try these new drivers:
in 3DMark 2001se, the HQ Car Chase either crashes out of the app when the truck fishtails infront of the camera, OR it BSOD's at the end of the demo when it is about to go back to the loading screen for the next demo. In-game crashes include Morrowind, when you start a new game and you're in that shack where the lizard dude is trying to talk to you. Also Battlefield 1942 crashes after a few seconds as well. These games and many others are doing this, whereas with the 27.51 drivers they all work perfectly fine.
Sorry if I left out anything important there but I hope it will be enough.
My system specs are as follows:
AMD Tbird 1200
512mb pc133
Epox 8kta3+ mobo
Windows XP Pro
Hope that'll do, and thanx in advance.
