Hello everyone ...
I just bought a G400 OEM 32MB SH at a local distributor here in Germany. I bought this card for my second computer (My MAX should arrive this week) but actually installed it on my primary and replaced the good'ol G200.
I attached a fan on top of the g400 and it blows the air just fine !
I unistalled PD 5.13 with the uninstaller and plugged the new card in. 5.13 installed correctly again.
I thought I´d give some benchmarks a try but was a little annoyed as I found out that the 3dMarkMAX-results (@640*480*16) were on par with my old g200 (oc to 110 core) and that racer and 1st-person FPS were even lower than on my G200 !! Than again running Q3 test gave me a real boost on framerates but still I can´t reproduce the fps other get in similar configs.
While running the q3test I found that after some time I get flashing pixels (few) on the screen which led me to the thought that something must be wrong here.
I tried overclocking the card using g200clk but found out that after moving up the master-clock only 4 MhZ (so 2 for core) I got more an more flashing pixels even on the desktop.
I don´t think that there is something wrong with my case (a really large tower) as I´m having 4 fans blowing in the case.
Any ideas are appreciated ....
