I've had nothing but gip from this card(creative gf3 ti200) which goes some of the way to explaining my new ASUS gf4(gloat gloat).
Anyway just put the gf3 card in another machine that i have and am encountering similar problems to what i had before...
1. erratic vertex shader tests in 3dmark 2001.
2. flashing white textures in the advanced pixel shader test in 3dmark2001 se and in the new nvidia werewolf demo. This too is replicated in quake 3 landscape textures.
Now the first problem i have never solved the second at least was improved with different drivers.. still occasional white textures though.
Originally i tried 3 motherboards till i got hte card working( system freezes, black screens etc)
I tried every via 4in1 patch in combination with about 16 different detonators(+ creatives own).
Finally i got the card working on an asus A7m266 (amd761 chipset) .. But now that its back in a machine with a via chipset the problems continue..
Is this card renowned for its incomaptability??
Has anyone got it running sweetly on an epox 8kha+ motherboard and if so which 4 in 1 patch was used and which version detonator driver.
At least the machine doesnt freeze anymore and games will play fine apart from the white textures of which i speak...
Installed are the detonator 2942 drivers and via 4in 1 4.36
