ATI 9700 Pro is running horribly: please help

On a 2.4 GHz with a GeForce 3, MoH runs great. On a 2.6 GHz with an ATI 9700 Pro, it's running "unplayable" even with everything turned down - so this tells me that MoH doesn't like my driver.

Is this using OpenGL instead of Direct3D? What shall I do?

Sorry if this has been addressed... Did a quick search and didn't see anything.

Thanks

I have 9700pro and runs very good.
I have the 3.2catalyst drvs. but even with the previous ones had no problems.
What are some of your sys. specs?...motherboard, os...
and what exactly is the game doing?...is it sluggish?

And also, did you have a previous graphics card installed before the 9700?
-if so you might have to completely uninstall it and clean out the registry.

Thanks for the reply. I just read your msg after uninstalling my current ATI driver and updating to the Catalyst 3.2 drivers. It used to be very sluggish and now it runs great.

2.6 GHz 400 FSB
Abit TH7II-Raid board
ATI 9700 Pro
Fresh Windows install

Thx again for the response.

I had the same problem with my ATI Radeon 8500 LE 128 meg DDR vid card. Its in my AMD Athlon 2100+ XP with an ECS mobo, 512 megs of DDR RAM. It wouldnt play shit. I formatted it and even did a low level formatte thinking the drivers from a G4 mmx might have been on there. But today I finally got it to run. I found out I may have a bad stick of 256 meg DDR RAM. It works when I turn off all aplications and I can put the graffics up all the way. Works fine now. Just need to get 200 and get new RAM. I just built my comp like 3 monts ago. I built it for X-Mas.

yea thats a big thing when getting a new vid card

you have to go under device manager, and delete your old card, before installing your new one...

I have a Radeon 9500 Pro, which runs great in MOH. So I'd suggest upgrading your driver.

However, the only problem I had was when I was using dual monitors. I played with MOHAA minimized on one-screen and had TS open on the other -- great use of a second monitor eh? -- Anyway, the graphics card would pretty much freak out type of thing, Blue Screen shit -- It was XP so that scared me (not normal blue screen) anyway. I took the monitor off and the problem has not come back. This was the only problem I have had with the card.
