GF2 MX 400 prob (garbled graphics)
picture of problem
OS: win2000 sp4
i have the latest drivers for VIA chipset, Detonator
and DX9c

i havent overclocked
i have seen this be4 when i used windows2000 with 2 or 3 of my other games
but i just changed it to XP to fix it back then
this time i wanna keep 2000 and hopefully fix this
Re: GF2 MX 400 prob (garbled graphics)
That's called "artifacting" (a very bad case of it).
Usually that's from OCed or overheating cards.
You sure the fan on it is running? (if it has one).
not OCed?
Re: GF2 MX 400 prob (garbled graphics)
Try an earlier version of the graphics driver.
Re: GF2 MX 400 prob (garbled graphics)
no i havent OCed it
and the fan is spinning
i only installed it a while ago
Dues Ex is slightly affected

as i said it works fine under XP
@VB
will try that now
Re: GF2 MX 400 prob (garbled graphics)
the second one is nearly nothing but artifacts. :blink:
If older drivers do not work for the gfx card, try different ones for your mobo chipset.
Make sure you've got the best, not the latest, hyperion drivers for your mobo if it's old.
Also, could there be separate xp and 2k drivers for your hardware, and are you using the right ones if so?
Re: GF2 MX 400 prob (garbled graphics)

i tried all of am plus others
i used rivatuner and lowered the AGP X4 (default setting)
to AGP X2
