    makes me feel better about my 12000 (ish) score with an older gfx card.

    Long pauses in graphic-intensive games (but high fps between pauses)

    Today I underclocked the card (to about 250MHz from 300MHz) Then I ran the 3dmark test that previously always paused at the same bit. (the troll's lair test. - paused when at the closeup of the woman's face) Not only did it not pause, but it seemed to perform slightly better. (I also...

    Long pauses in graphic-intensive games (but high fps between pauses)

    Not long after posting the OP I googled the problem. I saw the above solution. installed the mobo drivers. This did remove the 'pci mode' from the settings, but if anything it made the pausing problem worse. I suspect this is because now that the card was correctly operating in AGP mode...

    Long pauses in graphic-intensive games (but high fps between pauses)

    Thanks for the replies. I guess overheating makes sense, because recently I upgraded my mobo and cpu, so I guess they are pushing the geforce4 harder than it was pushed before. (The gf4 is not new. I ran it for months if not a year on an amd athlon 1000) When I turn down the graphics...

    Long pauses in graphic-intensive games (but high fps between pauses)

    A couple of things I forgot to mention... I have windows XP (home), with all updates installed. and about 5GB of free space on a recently defragged drive.

    Long pauses in graphic-intensive games (but high fps between pauses)

    Hi. I apologise if this is in the wrong forum. When playing Unreal 2 I keep getting long pauses where the screen hangs for about 7 seconds. Eventually the computer hung with a bluescreen message about a nv something file (I assume it's a geforce driver file) I also get a similar...
