August 5, 200421 yr If you have these you may be able to answer this. I think but am not sure, when installing latest 61.76 nvidia drivers for my gforce2 mx 400 - 64 mb vcard, that it asked if I wanted to enable or disable the amd cpu "3dnow" circuits. I remember something around a week ago asking me this but not sure what it was. I remember thinking only games written for "3dnow" would benefit. So I figured better performance possible if I leave that off. None of the older nvidia driver installers asked me this, which I have gone back to for now (series 45.23 to maintain dx9 recognition). Maybe disabling amd cpu 3dnow is problem. I may have to redo drivers back to 61.76 to see if that asked about this.Any of you amd users see such a question installing nvidia vcard drivers ?

August 5, 200421 yr nope, but i got a brand new card (fx series) and as far as i know it's better to use openGL because it gives higher framerates

August 6, 200421 yr Author leave it on... ok thanks. now i must try to find way to know if it is active or not. anyone know how to check this ? i had nvidia driver version 53.04 today to test. after about 3/4 hr while my son playing countersrtike, it got the black screen pc freeze like i was getting week ago in fa with newest 61.76 driver. so i "took out" this bad driver and put in driver # 45.23. and played for hr in ct no prob. logical conclusion is 50 series drivers and up no good for my system. too bad i messed up my shockwave and flash players thinking prob with them. still trying to solve that issue from other thread in this forum called "help flashing crashing browser".

August 6, 200421 yr Author did you check dxdiag? thanks for reminding me of that forgotten run box command. it says on main dxdiag window, processor = AMD Duron Processor, MMX , 3dnow, ~1.3 ghz. does this mean the 3d is active ? all windows say no problems.

August 6, 200421 yr Author Kol_Klink]You have a crappy Duron that's your problem. Good luck Shultz. jawhol heir commadaunt :wink: i've "heard" that best amd at same speed can be like cheapest intel (celeron, cheaper parts then regular cpu's) . so cheap amd (duron) would not be close to performance of same speed better amd let alone regular intel cpu. all's working well now. i'll post what i learned about flash probs in other post about flash crash browser in this forum. it works now !!
