What patch are you running on? And how much of the game did you install e.g. Full, Typical, etc., etc.? ------------------ In weight lifting, I don't think you should be disqualified for sudden, uncontrollable urination.

Yup, the out of the box drivers for the G400 max are poo. I had the same problem, so do yourself a favour and go download the 5.30 drivers and turbo GL drivers from Matrox's website. I dont recommend the 5.41 drivers unless you have an Athlon/P3. IP: Logged |

I don't understand why u want him to download TurboGL, RS uses D3d anyways.... As for the drivers, 5.41 gives you better performance over 5.30. (tested it out myself) lastly, you wouldnt happen to have a mod installed that modifies anything would you? --VAXC3 IP: Logged |

also, you DONT want to run with "force software" on a g400, that keeps it from utilizing all the cool on board features of the video card :-) ------------------ IP: Logged |

turbo GL is quite nice if you have quake 3 and it works with p2/celeron as well as p3/athlon, but the p2/celeron optimized turbo GL only works with 5.30 As for the performance, i had absolutely no gain from 5.41, only a stutter in some 3dmark99 was found after rigorous benchmarking with winbench 2000, winmark99/2000, final reality, fog city, and Viper Racing. So it actually worsened my performance by about .000001%. Ill take the turbo GL with 5.30 thank you. IP: Logged |
