Hi,

You are above minimum requirements so Carmageddon 2 should run well, can you post the driver versions you are using?
Also can you enter the BIOS and see if the cache settings are correct?

Driver version 5.32 and on bios all cache settings enabled. Should i change jumpers on mobo maybe?

And get some ' windows protection error ' at startup aftet installing chipset drivers

3dmark99

The 3dmark results seem to be okay for me for that card and CPU combination.
The "window protection error" is a bit bothersome, but it might be nothing.
The motherboard does have a "turbo" jumper near the CPU which reading the manual actually unlocks higher frequencies, but I think this should work without any OC.
What kind of monitor do you have? Maybe the the card is VSync-ing to a very low frequency.

EDIT: You can also check the CPU jumpers according to this manual: https://download1.gigabyte.com/Files/Manual/m … 77aa7add69f05b4, however based on the 3DMark results, that doesn't seem to be the issue.

İts virtuoso 170 packerd bell. 17" very old one indeed

I cannot find a detailed description of that monitor, but it I'm also don't see anyone complaining about it either, so I would assume that it is working correctly with at least a 60 Hz refresh rate, which even with VSync on and syncing on every second frame is still 30 FPS, so that would still feel reasonably smooth, so I don't think that it is the limitation.
Can you try an OpenGL game to rule out a D3D driver issue?

Opengl titles works better .

Hmm the driver version 5.32 came out just a bit later than the card, and generally older drivers have better performance with NVIDIA cards, so it should be good, but maybe this specific version has an issue with this GPU, I think we can try one of the last ones to support this card to debug:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/win9x-8198/
Most likely the performance will be worse, but if it is a specific driver bug with that version it might be better.

Yes carmaggedon 2 in now worse than other drivers. So its driver? Or what , 😀 thanks
