1.0.4.c3 ATI M64 feedbk
Chuck;
I recently got the ATI Graphics pro turbo w/ 4 Mb (pci bus on a P90 w/ 64Mb
ram) and am having the same delay of getting into 3DS3 as well. About one
minute to get into 3DS and about 2 Sec. to go back and forth to the Mat Editor.
I am also using the latest versions of you drivers downloaded from here
1.0.4.c3.
I did download this TSR that someone put on the forum called Antive.zip
(AnitVESA) which stops all vesa calls from the ATI board, and this got the load
time into 3DS down to 15 Sec. (not bad). But still a delay in switching to the
material editor and back. The major problem with this TSR solution is that the
VESA drivers then don't work for Ani Pro.
But the WORST problem I am having with this ATI card is that after using 3DS
you must reboot the system prior to starting windows. It seems that the
Vibrant drivers leave a mess in the memory of the ATI card (It even fails it
won memory test after exiting 3DS). If you know anything about this problem I
would appreciate some feedback. I still have a couple of weeks to return this
card a get a different one, but other then these items it is by far the best
card I have worked with. Faster, cleaner and sharper then the Matrox PCI 2 plus
and the Diamond Stealth 64/4
