Default GeForce3 Ti200 & Forceware 53.03 possible w/ stability?

Anyone able to get the Forceware 53.03 driver to function with a
GeForce3 Ti200 card? I have had to use the 40.72 version since newer
revisions cause system instability. The GeForce3 Ti200 has had
problems with the latest drivers in two entirely different systems.
Any help would be appreciated.

I use 44.03 on my GF3 Ti500. Tried the later ones including the 50.xx but
they wouldn't install correctly, gave me some bad probs. So went back to
44.03 ...then no probs. Some folk even say 30.xx were better.

Yes it is true
Those latest nvidia drivers are not good on my geforce 3 ti200 128mb (palit
daytona)
Gladiator the sword of revenge keeps crashing after a few min of gameplay.
I did revert back to my older drivers the 45.23 from omega.
to find those drivers use google type in omega drivers.
Good luck

i`ve just upgraded the 53.XX on my GeForce 3 TI 500, and everything seems
ok.
Knights of The Old republic plays a lot better since i updated. I was really
struggling
before updating, with this game.

If you moved up from an older 3 series set of drivers you need the
30xxx to 40xx fix,
http://download.guru3d.com/detonator/
Or fully remove the Detonator drivers with one of their utilities and
then install and updated version.The 30.82 drivers or the 44.03
drivers work well in Win98/SE I've found.
Whilst there also get the free,"Rivatuner"
http://download.guru3d.com/rivatuner/
and use it to go through all your settings as it has a built in
hidden registry checker that can fix these kind of problems
Note:I'm running the 53.03 in win98SE with not problems after the
above.
Also once done clean the registry,

Any driver above 44.xx didn't work properly on my MSI GF3 Ti-200, but I
finally figured it out. The problem turned out to be the video card's BIOS
(version 3.20.00.20).

I went to http://whitebunny.demon.nl/hardware/chipset_nvidia.html
and downloaded v3.20.00.19 (3201900.rom) and NVFlash. I booted into pure DOS
and flashed the BIOS:

nvflash --overridesub -f3201900.rom

Now the new drivers work perfectly.

Note: before trying this, it might be a good idea to use NVFlash to make a
backup of your current BIOS.
eg) nvflash --save backup

Thanks, this solved the same problem with my GF3 too.
I have Nvidia's GF3 Ti200 and the original bios was
3.20.00.18F. Got the same problem with the latest
drivers locking up XP, but after flashing that 3.20.00.19
53.03's are working like a dream!

Myself using a card from Asustek, with a Nvidia GeForce3 Ti-200 and BIOS
3.20.00.18, and have only tried drivers up to 44.xx (Currently using
unmodified Nvidia drivers 4.14.10.4403 & 6.13.10.3087, both work fine).

I went to http://whitebunny.demon.nl/hardware/chipset_nvidia.html and
downloaded v3.20.00.19 (3201900.rom) and NVFlash. I booted into pure DOS
and flashed the BIOS:

nvflash --overridesub -f3201900.rom

Now the new drivers work perfectly.


I'm glad it worked for you.
But i must ask, how did you ever think of such an obscure solution as to
downgrade to an earlier BIOS version to cure problems with newer drivers
versions? Advanced troubleshooting or just luck?

backup of your current BIOS.
eg) nvflash --save backup


Also take care regarding what TV-chip you have on your card. At least
for the .12 BIOS there are different BIOS-variants (BT, Ch, Ph & Sm)
that i take to correspond with what TV-chip you have on your card
(BrookTree(Conexant), Chrontel, Philips or "no TV-chip"). I couldn't
figure out if there still was different BIOS-variants for the higher
(.18, .19, .20 & .29) BIOS-versions, but i don't see how that could have
changed. So take care if you use the TV-out function on your card.
