interesting... I poked around alot on google and I found alot of the same, saying its normal, was just paranoid that it was indeed the problem with my slow frame rates as compared to others users with the same card. ahhh well, back to the drawing board I suppose :( Thanks for your help :)

Hey everyone, if anyone remember I was having problems with my video card performance (its a crappy fx 5700, but isnt even performing to its crappy level, about 1/4th of what it should according to other peoples scores with the same card) I checked out my nvidia control panel and looked at...

if you are willing to try something very new, check out the "Gaming Mouse" http://gamingmouse.com/handling.php?PHPSESSID=8e1b2de5a7dbcbfed45e2ca6043c4c61 there is a video of it, really, really unique. and SUPER smooth, in the video the guy blows his mouse across his mousepad with just a...

obsolete my ass, i just upgraded to XP from 98 about 3 months, didnt have to until there were a few programs I wanted that needed xp. you have ATLEAST 2-3 years before you will need to switch over, ATLEAST.

yes the mx518 is the best mouse i have ever used, I wrote a review on it a few months ago, i will see if I can drudge it up, but all in all its a very great mouse, lots of buttons, great sensitivity changes on the fly with the buttons near the scroll wheel, friggin awesome stuff, and very very...

well, usually there are so many pixels in 1600 that its hard to see jaggies, but on a large monitor I do think it could make a difference

Ok, well, I formatted, reinstalled windows, disabled all un-needed hardware, installed all updated drivers, via 4in1, good nvidia drivers, etc. and its still running just the same... UGH. I guess that means i am giving up, unless anyone else has some suggestions! It will be a while before I...

If your using Nvidia 77.72 drivers, that is the problem, me and a friend had the same thing happen. Either downgrade, or goto guru3d.com and grab some newer ones that have fixed the problem. There is also another fix i read somewhere but i cant remember where it was... but im pretty sure its the...

ok pueblo, noted. However, it will be a few months before I have funds to upgrade to a new card so I still want to get this problem fixed... I just hate making a thread and stating "i know this card sucks" and have half the people tell me "dude, that card sucks" LOL. Either way, there has to...

Thanks Miller, I have done that and it indeed reports 8x in the control panel. "Maybe you could convince a friend with a video card of the same level to try it on your comp?" I wish I could, none of my friends really do pc gaming though so nobody has a good vid card :( well, im backing up...

Like I have said several times in this thread, i know its a sucky card. but other people with the same card are getting 2-4 times the performance I am. As well, the box does say 128 bit, so I doubt its a 64.

"Can you link us to the exact model of card you got, please?" Indeed Video Card: http://www.pny.com/products/verto/mainstream/5700ve.asp Mobo: http://abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=230 "When using a via chipset I like to make sure my agp speed is full speed in...

Well, I ran driver cleaner and reinstalled my drivers, still just as slow. :( I hope someone can help me get this figured out!

Demi, thanks for the suggestion, the MOBO is an Abit, but I still tried that, both DA and EA, and neither made a difference. I do appreciate the help though! Nobi, no I didnt use Driver Cleaner, I will try it out and see what happens. Anyone else that wants to take a stab at this, it would...

"Download the latest via 4in1s." Just got them, and installed, no difference... Got them from http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=420&OSID=1&CatID=1070 - got the hyperion drivers, they are the same drivers that I got from the abit site, reinstalled anyways, but still the same...
