Radeon 9200 256MB AGP

arkiebrian · 08-18-2004, 11:12 PM

I have tried everything I could think of to install this video card. When I have it in the AGP slot and reboot, Windows XP Pro goes to the login screen. When I log in, there is a click and the screen goes black.

Any ideas? I REALLY want to get this installed so I can play DOOM 3!

If you had another video card before the Radeon 9200, you must first uninstall the previous video drivers.

I believe I have done this. I'll try again.

Could it possibly be that my monitor is not compatible?

Probably not.

If you REALLY wanna play Doom 3 you REALLY need to get a faster card. Just because it has a crapload of onboard memory means nothing. its only there on cheaper cards because its cheap to add more memory. If you want to play Doom 3 a 9600XT would cut it decently or a nvidia gfx 5900.

What monitor do you have? The Radeons have some sort of incompatibility with Flatron monitors.

Believe it or not my roomate managed to play on a XP2000, 256MB and .... GF2MX ... blew my mind (and it wasnt horribly choppy either)

must have been an engineering fluke

...maybe im just to picky with games. if a game jumps at all it annoys the hell out of me so i notice even the slightest jitteryness or frame jumps, plus i cant stand running games at lower resolutions then the highest my monitor supports. lol
