Jerky movement with Win XP Geforce 4 Ti4200

[The Urchin]

Hi

I'm running on an Athlon XP2200+, Geforce 4 Ti4200, WinXP, 512mb DDR, Asus A7V333 Via KT333 chipset. 19" monitor set at desktop resolution of 1024x768 32bit 70hz refresh rate.

I'm getting jerky movement at this and all other resolutions with V1.1 aquarium. I've tried changing all of the obvious settings with no difference. Has anyone else replicated this with a similar setup ?. Any advice on achieving smooth graphics ?

[feldon34]

That's a top of the line system.

Definitely a driver issue or some background program is stealing CPU cycles.

Have you got the latest drivers for that GeForce from http://www.nVidia.com/ ?

[Jav400]

Usually, problems are attributed to drivers. You might check which ones you are using and try several other versions. You might also check and see if you have any background programs running that might be interfering on a regular basis and causing the jerkiness.

[Socrates]

I have the same chipset with just an athlon 1.2 and GF2MX on XP. It's smooth as butter.

I could not say the same thing for the KT266a board I just dumped though. It jerked all over the place. It was a problem in the design of many KT266 motherboards relating specifically to NVIDIA card. It had to be replaced with a later revision board.

Anyway, it would run smooth for a half hour or more, then it would start to skip something awful. I tried EVERYTHING for months. Replacing the motherboard eliminated it instantly.

Urchin, as of yesterday I'm thinking about buying myself an identical system – save that I'm going for an 2000+ instead of your 2200. Are you satisfied with it (non-aquarium wise)?
My bet is that you're thinking 'bout a new monitor since 1024x768@70Hz really isn't up to par with the rest of that setup...

Hi

Thanks for the advice. I will try some more drivers from the nvida & other driver sites to see if that clears up the problem. I have all background programs shut down via msconfig/startup, but thats not clearing the problem. I also noticed that the S key for fps readout is not doing anything - is this a known issue ?

Tiny Turtle - yes, apart from the the serenescreen problem I am very happy with the machine. I had a PIII 500mhz before and the performance increase has been phenomenal. Graphics run very fast with good fps. I run a lot of WWII flight sims which are CPU and graphics hungry and all of these now run very smooth. The Samsung dynaflat 957DF monitor is fine and does what I need it to. I'm not one of those people that have to have their monitor at max resolution on optimal refresh rate all the time - I find the lettering and icons at high res a pain to read.

[Tiny Turtle]

Max resolution and optimal refresh rate are two quite different issues. Typically, the higher the resolution – the lower the sweep frequency. I haven't been able to pick out what the maximum sweep frequency is for your monitor at your particular resolution, but since that model can handle 1280x1024@85 Hz, I'd say it can manage 1024x768@~100Hz (check your user manual for exact figures). The higher the frequency, the more stable the image so there's absolutely no reason whatsoever to run it at a lower frequency than it can handle.

On a side note, I can add that I've just ordered the pieces for that system and now I find myself walking back and forth by the door waiting (for a week or two) for it to arrive...

As for as the defunct "S" key: That's news to me. – Anybody else hear of it?

/Tiny Upgrade (I'm on a PIII-450 now)

[The Urchin]

Tiny T - Thanks for the additional info. on res/refresh rates. According to the monitor settings options under advanced settings my max res. is 85hz. There are 100 and 120 mhz options if I clear the check box against revealing unsafe settings for the monitor, but I am wary of using higher settings if it says these are unsafe.

Good luck with the new comp when it arrives, i'm sure you will be pleased with it.

[Tiny Turtle]

Sounds wise. I'd stick with 85 Hz – That's significantly more stable than 70 Hz anyways.

[The Urchin]

Tried the new 30.82 drivers and no change. Went back to the 29.42 drivers as they are widely held to be the most reliable and best performers at the moment. Anybody else got ideas on this jerkiness in the movement ?

[Jim Sachs]

When you bring up the Task Manager ( ctrl-alt-del ), are there any other processes which are using much CPU time?

Is this computer networked or on-line when the fish are jerky?

[The Urchin]

Hi Jim

The answers no to each of those. Antialiasing is also off and its an audigy sound card not the dreaded soundblaster. I'm usually OK at sorting stuff out myself, but this one is really throwing me at the moment. Also tried the new 40.xx beta drivers - no change, but good drivers anyway ! The Dxdiag report follows:

the latest Via 4in1 drivers may (or may not) help in your case. URL to follow.

Hope this helps.

mfc42.dll: 6.00.8665.0000 English Beta Retail 8/18/2001 13:00:00 995383 bytes

Aha! you're using an older version of the mfc42.dll. That surely must be it...

– A tad bit over the top with that post, Urch?

I have exactly the same problem.

System:

AthlonXP 1800+
512MB DDR ram
MSI KT3 Ultra motherboard
Asus Geforce4 Ti4400
Win XP Pro

I get jerky aquarium at all resolutions; not severe, but noticable. Sometimes, for no apparent reason it's smooth, but not very often and I haven't a clue as to why it becomes smooth. When first switching my computer on it's always jerky, but after using my computer for a while, as I say, it can run smoothly, but not always. It's not like I try to shut programs down in task manager to make it smooth - it just happens.
I've tried various detonator drivers - using 30.82 at the moment - but none have solved the problem. Also using Via 4in1 v4.40.

Just checked Processes in Task Manager and everything is 00 apart from Sytem Idle Process which is 99. I assume this is right?
Also, it doesn't matter if I'm on-line or not, the aquarium is still jerky.

Glad to find someone else having this problem (if you know what I mean!)

Used to run it on an old Duron system, Windows 98SE with Geforce2 mx and it was as smooth as silk.

Feel like it could be a difficult bug to find if there aren't that many people who are getting it...

[feldon34]

You aren't running NetMeeting are you?

[Cod]

This might sound like a stupid question but how do I tell?
I'm fairly sure I'm not running it though.

[Cod]

Another thing I've noticed is if I press the "s" key to get the frame rate info, it flicks between 73 and 78 fps. I'm running 1280x1024@75Hz. I'm fairly sure that when it runs smoothly the fps stays almost constant.

Also, if I limit frame rate to 60 I get fps of between 39 and 41 and it's jerky as hell.

Any ideas?

Something isn't right.

You need to find out what is running in the background.

Of course, you also need to make sure your 4 in 1 drivers are installed and up to date.




This may or may not be way off base, but for all the people running fast Athlons on Fast KT266 or KT3 boards, how much power supply do you have? What are the reported CPU and Motherboard temperatures? Do your GF4's have fanes on them or just metal heatsinks?

If you upgraded, did you carry over the case and fans?

Or even better, if these are new systems, have you verified that they have enough cooling? Many manufacturers "overlook" decent cooling, especially with fast Athlon systems.

[Socrates]

Another thought, anyone running the indexing service?

Or a program that is on the task bar, does not hide, and redraws itself at an interval?
