Aces High Trouble with 7600 GS
« on: February 15, 2007, 08:29:30 PM »
Just got a new comp Monday.  Put a 5700 ultra in the comp and figured I would try the high res pack and I received easy 100+ frames.  Believe with the 5700 I was using something called omega drivers which I had no problems with.  Since the card died Wednesday, got a 7600 GS with 512 MB.  Installed the high res pack and have the 9371 drivers installed.  

Now I try start Aces High and it brings up the windows problem message of saying Aces High has encountered a problem and needs to close.

Any help to fix this would be appreciated as going on a week without Aces High is getting kinda nerve wrecking. :aok

I believe Skuzzy recommends the 84.66 drivers for that series of cards. Google them and you'll find 'em.

Alright new problem.  Got the 84.66 drivers installed but when I start the game up it freezes when I click on a field to move to.  Got plenty of video memory and system memory in this system to spare.

I've got a new 7600 that's giving me all kinds of trouble AH-wise.  If I find really good drivers for it, I'll let you know.

Several of us using 7600 GTs (not GSs) have found 84.66 to be the best (only) driver for them.

I've tried lots of other drivers including a couple of independent ones (non-Nvidia) and 84.66 is really the only good option.

I would try using a driver cleaner to remove all of the old driver and then try installing 84.66 again. Old drivers can cause problems by leaving files where they shouldn't be.

If it still happens then I don't know exactly what's causing the problem.

Thanks to a snippet from Kev i managed to get my 8800GTS working reasonably well.  

Hoarach check your mobo for PCI latency timers usual default is 64 when i swapped this to 128 made a huge difference to stability.

Even with the latest 97.92 i think the game runs fine every now and again it will go into the twlight zone with patchy weird graphics.  This can be fixed by alt tabbing sitting on auto pilot or in the tower.  I get a white screen for about a minute then the graphics all re-load again and its normal.

did 10 hours yesterday did it twice both recovered ok without totally crashing.

Never used Nvidia cards before and amazed they have such crap drivers.

90-series drivers are widely accepted as a pox upon man. Problem is the 80-series doesn't support 8800s, so I think you're stuck til they make more (newer) drivers.

Take heart, they normally update them frequently.

However, with Vista .... who knows if they'll ever get ANY out ever again?

yea i hope so Krusty but as the card is capable of using directx 10 and vista I bet they are all messing around with drivers for that rather than XP.

Hopefully some geeks somewhere can crack on, mash some keyboard and come out with something better than Nvidia are capable of.

Just was surprised to see a thread about the 7600 too.....

power supply?
« Reply #8 on: February 16, 2007, 05:21:46 AM »
when I upgraded to my 7800 gs co I found out my 430watt ps did not have enough amps on the 12v rail and I had to upgrade my power supply. Since then, I have not had any lockups or issues.

Still have no luck.  Deleted windows folder on old hard drive and deleted the onboard video drivers.

Those drivers suggested above gave me no luck. :cry

Are you running AMD 64 X2 Dual cores by any chance?

If so then you may need to download a patch from the AMD Website heres the link

Pretty sure its only single core.

Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2 GHZ processor
PNY Verto 7600 GS 512 MB
Creative SB Audigy 2
512 MB RAM

Whats the chance I need a bigger power supply since its only a 300W in this comp I believe.

Was about 2 ask u if your runnning dual processor.  I had no problems until i switched cards and encountered the same thing.  I had 2 d/l a patch for dual processors am2.  

Yes I would suggest buying a stronger ps.  300 is really low for that type of machine.  I would suggest a 450 or higher watt ps.

Except I have a curious question as to why AH freezes and not CoD 2?

Try lowering your textures to 512mb.  Also make sure you uninstall your old videocard drives and are using standard before installing new card.  CoD2 does not use as much resource as ah2.  Running xp and ah2 together can tax that 512mb quick.  Post/email your directx setup so htc can take a look at it.
