Problem in 3dmark 2001 with Kyro II

[Jesus12]

Hi everybody

I've got at slight problem, my computer freezes whenever i try to run the 3dmark2001 benchmark. I can run the lobby scene without freezing (both high and low), and the car chase in low res. I have no problem running the cow game.

Is this a problem there is going to be solved with directx 8.1

All games e.g. Q3A, CS, Delta force 3, etc. run perfectly.

Anyone else got a similar problem og even a solution.

My system is:

Duron 800@969
Chaintech CT-7AJA
196 mb RAM (PC100) CL2
Hercules prophet 4500 tv-out (64 MB)

Jesus,

Did you do a fresh install of your OS or did you change video cards and re-install the drivers?

Hi

I tried it, and it didn't work.

I found out something funny. When I've just installed the drivers I can run 3dmark 2001, but when I have rebooted i dosn't work again.

However it dosn't matter that much since every game runs perfectly.

Thats weird, that would bug me out a little!!

Hi again

I tried lowering the FSB, and it actually worked. know I can run the benchmark with one exception the high polygon count test. If i run it as a single test i will run fine.

It crashes both in 3dmark 2001 and 2000 (only when using directx T&L).

I have tried running other high polygon tests, eg. GLExcess1.1, and it runs perfecly. I don't know if the final directx 8.1 will fix this.

I thought there was a problem with DirectX 8.0 and 3DMark2001 on the Kyro (DirectX errors - not card)?

From what I've heard, the up-coming DX 8.1 should fix this.

Why not try directx8.1 build 620 ?
my score improveed 25% in 3dmark 2k1 and it runs the demo now...

I am using directx 8.1 build 620, so I'm just hoping that the final version will fix the problem.
