Video On Athlon/600 makes DX and OGL textures messed, and eratic

[Karl Blessing]

I recently got an Microstar K7 Pro Motherboard, poped in my geforce, but notice that in DirectX game, and utils that use DX calls, get all these weird color boxes, and stuff all over it, or in Unreal Tornament, the textures are Stretched on one side, and going crazy, same in Quake3, weird color boxes on the texture, and some eratic texture stretching, naturally I thought this was the Geforce+Irongate Problem, but I bought a new Motherboard, a Abit KA7 , which hold a VIA KX133 chipset, yet again exact same problems as in the MSI board, and I did load all the VIA chipset drivers, and tried server drivers for the card (such as the Elsa drivers, the Nvidia Reference both released and betas) also on some occasion the white on the desktop turns to yellow, Also To make sure it wasnt just the card, I poped in a TNT2 Ultra that I had, yet exactly the same problems. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=

I think that there may be a conflick between some software devices and drivers/hardware for your monitor. the video card might not be 3D compatible and will only work with surten low-end graphics, or check the monitor it might also be the problem if it is an older model. <p>Sherwin B.

um<br>No<br>if you've ever seen a Geforce or a TNT2 Ultra they are both very good top of the line 3d Cards, as well as 2D cards, also I've tried two motherboards, and two different video cards, with the same result. the Monitor is a Dell Ultrascan 100H series, which is Trinitron , its onlu 1997 , but is still a very good monitor and worked fine with the geforce on my socket7 board holding a AMD K6-2/450 before that died, Since I've tried two board, and two different cards, my assumption is the Athlon CPU itself might be in some way defective<br><br>Also its not a Vid+Monitor problem, because you can see everything just the textured parts are filled with colored blocks, but you still read out everything.<br><br>for detailed information<br>Motherboards :<br>Microstar K7 Pro<br>Abit KA7<br><br>Video cards tried:<br>Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra 32M<br>Elsa Erazor X2 (Geforce DDR 32M)<br><br>CPU being used on both : Athlon/600Mhtz<br><br>Rams Used : PC100 2-2-2 SDram, 256M Total (2 128M Dimms)<br><br>OS Running : Win98 (non-SE), updated with everything off windowsupdate.microsoft.com, <br><br>Drivers Used for Geforce:<br>latest ELSA drivers for the Erazor X2<br>latest Release Reference drivers from Nvidia<br>Beta Denator 5.13 Reference Drivers from Nvidia<br><br>All VIA(for KA7) and AMD(for MSI K7 Pro) chipset drivers and miniport were updated as well. <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href=
