Screen Flicker with Bump maped games
Sad face.... :-(
I have a GA-6vx7-4x and a G400 D/H 32 Mb AGP card. I am using the onboard sound of the Gigabyte board. The G400 is on IRQ 11 and is not shareing with any other device (there are in fact no other cards in the system). O/S is win98 SE and I am using the Via 4.23 4in1 patch and the Matrox 6.000? drivers.
The problem I have is that any mumped maped games (such as the demos from the Mtrox site) or Quake III or microsoft earth demo) all display with irratic flickering during play. This is espicaly available when the games are played at 1024x768..... Homeworld for instance will play without flickering at 800x600...
Now who is the guilty suspect?
Matrox?
VIA?
These problems are not available using the older 4in1 patch and the older Matrox drivers..
Why change?
Because with these older drivers I can only get AGP x1 with the newer ones AND the tweak utility I can get x2. I should be able to get x4.... But I would settle for x2 with no flickering at 1024 x 768 if anyone has any ideas on how this can be achieved..
Ta!
