Do i have a messed up Ti4600

[Mannycc]

I seem to get lower than usual scores with my Ti4600. The vertex shader on my old GTS is 47.7 fps. on my 4600 it is 20.3. The vertex shader test also runs wierd it slows down then speeds us and so on and so on. Here is the link to my Ti4600. My poly count tests are also way off. I just got it yesterday and i was expcting faster stuff. If you have a 4600 tale a look at this and tell me what ya think. Thanks

Something doesn't look right. Take a look at my score a couple posts down.

Make sure the 4-in-1's are installed for starters. Something dose look a little off, but your are running the KT266 chipset wich isent really known for its gaming performance. Your overall score dosent seem WAY to far off, most Athlon XP systems get in the 8000+ range, your running an orig. Athy so you have to take that into account also. I'd say do a very close check of *ALL* your BIOS settings, something may have been changed when you swaped in your new Ti. Also check to see if your FSAA levels are to high, that can slow you down. If all else fails return it for a different one.

Thanks,
My modo uses the KT133A chipset. and the 4in1s are installed. Also for some reason my modo rejects an XP cpu it should be able to take one according to asus. I'm building a system for my bro and i'll test the stuff out in his system but that is a week or two down the road. What should my bios look like... My Nature and Vertex shader test act weird when they run... maby a driver thing with the KT133A who knows. Any other Ti4600 owners out there

I have an a7v133, too. Here's my 3dmark url.. My card is a 4400, but it is oc'ed to 300 core, 690 mem, so it should be comparable to yours. Your scores in the non-pixel/vertex shader stuff look fine in comparison to mine. The pixel/vertex shader stuff, like you said, is way too low.

Did you uninstall your old drivers before putting the new card in? I'm wondering if there is a registry key that tells the drivers "this card has x vertex shaders", and it's still saying "1" or "emulate" or something. Might want to try uninstalling and then running detonator destroyer if you haven't.

SlimHarpo what bios version on your A7V133 do you use? i use the 1008.
