geforce fx 5200 problems
Posted: 2004-09-11 05:56pm
Two days ago I received an Apollo GFFX5200 128megs via FedEX from Newegg.com~
No problems getting it in and I installed the latest forceware drivers. However, games which use pixel shaders are giving me problems. A bumpmapping mod for half life, which uses pixel shaders, isn't displaying the bumpmaps.
The FarCry Fort demo is also giving me problems, as you can see here:
All settings in-game are medium
I've tried disabling overclocking on the card and it doesn't make a difference. Nor does the quality setting.
System is~
1 ghz athlon
512 pc100 ram
Win2k SP4
DirectX 9.0b
Oddly, the very first time I played the FC Fort demo it rendered everything correctly; water effects included. I've reinstalled the card multiple times and even tried old 60.72 drivers, which were supposed to fix some problems in the FC retail version.
