Stuttering (hitching) on nVidia Geforce 2 MX400 SOLVED!!!!
Hi,
I thought that seeing as though this news group supplied me with so many ideas to fix my problem I would feed back what worked for me. My PC is a Celeron 1.3Ghz with a GF2 running XP Pro. I was having a very annoying problem with Need For Speed Underground(NFS U) whereby the screen would freeze for about a second in certain parts of a track. It would always freeze in the same place and was driving me crazy. I scoured the news groups and sites like Guru 3D for a solution. I was running the latest driver 53.03 (actually the latest of everything) and tried all the solutions and this is what worked for me. I found that if I used the nVidia 30.82 driver the stuttering would go away. The only problem I had with this driver was that it didn't support custom resolutions (1200x900 @ 75Hz is great on my Philips 17" monitor). I overcame this problem by installing RivaTuner and using it to create the custom resolution for me. At the same time I was able to enable 4x AGP (it was set to 2x by the driver due to an apparent problem with some Via chips) and overclock the card to 240/368Mhz from the default 200/333Mhz. So after about a month of frustration it is running like a dream. It looks like nVidia screwed up the GF2 driver in later versions (for me anyway). Cheers SurfRat. |
