Performance dropped by 30%

[Montaver]

Has anyone else noticed a serious decline in 3D performance after updating to the latest G400 BIOS? For some reason I have losst 10 FPS in Q3 test and I can only pin it down to this. I have tried evrything, reinstalling drivers, reinstalling windows, reinstalling Q3. I dont get. Something has gobbled up 30% of my gaming performance.The best I can get is 19FPS when before it was around 30FPS.
Help.

Have you tried flashing back to the orginal Bios. Whats happens if you do that.

do you have multi-display enabled? if you do, try turning off dualhead

I doubt it is the BIOS - drivers nowadays don't go through the card's BIOS - they talk directly to the cpu on the card. It must be something you've installed - newer drivers for something else maybe? Different version of Q3Test?
But still, flash back and see if it helps.

My PC? Not that bad, got all sorts of crap in it, and all sorts of crap around it and my desk is also messy. Now what does that say about me? ;¬)
