My friend just bought Hercules Radeon 9700 Pro. He replaced the old GeForce3 card with it.
Here's some specs:
AMD XP 2000+
768DDR
MSI K7T 266 PRO
HERCULES ATI RADEON 9700 PRO
He did fresh install of WindowsXP Pro and card is now up and running. It is however performing poorly considering 'the package' ...
Here's the link to his best 3D Mark score:
When doing search and compare it is (by far?) the lowest score with 10419 there with similar systems. High being 12402 points.
He has installed all the latest drivers for mobo, via chip and the videocard.
Bios is the latest revision and should be optimized, only fast write doesn't seem to work even its turned on from bios.
Is this something he should not worry about and is being 2000 points behind a serious issue? Do you think the old (2 years) motherboard is the weakist link here.
All input welcome. And thanks for taking time to read this.
Cheers!
