my guess is you didnt completely remove tnt2 goop.
so....
goto control pannel
system
hardware
device manager
and uninstall the ti4200 and anyother device under display adapters.
then
goto add/remove programs
uninstall the (i cant remember the exact name) NvidiaXp/2000 drivers(thats what it says on my system anyway).
reboot
and reinstall the new dets.

No improvment. Ive even tweaked the clock frequencies,turned down v-synch and selectec best performance from the advanced definition menu .Really need help on this on.Any one got any clue?May the new board be somehow not good? I dont tink its normal that i have 12-25 fps on diablo 2 and score 4xxx on pcmark .

Try to see if the nVidia Tweaking Guide we have here on TweakTown will help your cause any. I use the Ti4200 on my system and have had no problems. It may just be that you need to optimize your setup a bit. :)
Also, what version of the Detonator drivers are you using?Old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill

Did you install the new card together with all your new hardware (processor, mobo,etc)?
If you did, did you just put the same old windows to load in the new hw?
If yes, I believe you have loads of trash still loading and "misleading" your windows. I would do a fresh reinstallation of it.
Or if you want to try something lighter, try this (recommended by my Gainwards ti4200 manual): put the OLD video card back. Boot it.
Set you video card as PCI generic, reboot it.
Let windows set whatever it needs, reboot it.
Install Detonator 30.82 (the best and more stable in my opinion).
shutdown your cpu.
Plug the new card.
Reboot it.
Basically everything that I did, when I moved from my RivaTNT2 to my Geforce4200, no problems at all (Win9x).

By the way, you don't need any overclock or tweaking to see the diference between the old and new cards.
IT's HUGE!!!
3dMark2001 jumped from 640 to 5700 points in my Duron 800.
Put the safest settings in your BIOS and clocks, later you tweak it.

You will have to isolate the problem. It MAY be your video card, or may not be it (mobo,..., whatever).
I would lend the video card to a friend and check how it goes on his/her computer.
If it works fine, you will have to worry about your mobo or a compatibility issue between your videocard and mobo/cdburner/whatever.

that is most definately the best and easiest way to figure this problem out. You need another computer to swap parts with. If you think it is the video card, borrow a friend's 4200 or whatever card they have. If you still get low performance(where the performance on the other system is significantly higher) then it is probably just a sour video card.
Sometimes a card can just come off the assembly line bad. Maybe it slipped through quality control. Who knows.
The best thing you can do though is borrow a different card. You might even go down to your local electronics store that has a good return policy and "borrow" one of their cards for a few days
Good luck.<table width="225" height="100" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td width="100"><p align="center"><font color="#003300" size="-3" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">AMD

There is a program to remove old detonators and drivers you got alot on yor comp right now. Someone on here can give you the name of it use it to remove all drivers for you Ti4200. Then load up the new and current drivers mine is on 40.72 and works great. I had to kill all the old drivers and then reinstall my card to work correctly. You may also check to see if your card has issues with your mobo. Do a full comp update, bios and all drivers and all should work fine together. Let us know how it goes :cheers: .
