Visiontek GeForce 4 Ti4400 Issue

[nytiger73]

Hey Everyone -

I recently bought a GeForce 4 Ti4400. I have an Athlon 1.4 Ghz and 512MB of PC2100 DDR RAM. And am running WinXP Pro. I installed the card, and it appears to be running OK. I've been playing various games, and the quality of the visuals seems to have definitley improved, however, performance wise, it seems to still be at the levels of my old GeForce 2 GTS. I played Medal of Honor, and my frame rates were somewhere around 15-30 FPS with some action on the screen, and around 45 FPS with nothing going on. I feel that this is somewhat slow. I also ran a 3dMark Benchmark, and it came out to 5635. From what I've been reading on Mad Onion's website, that other people with this card and same speed processor are getting somewhere around 7000-8000 3D Marks score. But it appears I am way behind.

I am running my games at 1280x1024 16 bit color, I have tried 32 bit color, dropping back to 1024x768 16 bit color, with no noticeable difference in performance up or down. My desktop is 1280x1024x32.

I have the latest chipset drivers for my motherboard and also have the latest Nvidia reference drivers installed (28.32) I still have to go thru the BIOS and check a few settings, and also need to check to see if the card is sharing any IRQ's with anything. One of the final things I was considering was a reformat (per Visiontek's) website.

Does anyone have a similar configuration that is getting better results? Does anyone have any other suggestions I might be able to try?

Surely...I downloaded a program from Guru3d.com called RivaTuner. I have an ALi based board. There is a registry entry that needs to be changed in this program called "EnableALiAGP". I enabled that and my frame rates and 3D Mark scores took off.
