thegorre

i've got a PowerColor Radeon 8500 Evil Master II 64 Mo
a MotherBoard : MSI KT7 Ultra ARU
512 Mo DDR 2700
and 160 Go HD

When i installed classicly your great drivers, without installing before the last via driver,
windows 2000 pro restarted well but in DirectX diag, the AGP was disable !

So i decided to install the last via driver and i succeeded to have the Accelared Graphic Proc. (AGP) it was enable !

just one thing, before installing the via driver, i tried some games like : Unreal tournament 2003 and it was terribly slow,
when i tried the direct 3D test in directx : the cube began a crazy rotation stangely faster !

after installing the via driver and dx81 : i saw the AGP present but when trying the Diretcx 3D test , the first test : a black screen ! the second test a crazy rotation of the cube !

when trying Unreal 20003 : a black screen, the music behind but impossible to play !

with RallyChampionShip 2002 : white sc'reen .....


Please help me i am lost !
can someone tell me how proceeding when i install my system !
What must i install as driver for mother or not, agp or not, what kind of drivers, the good way !What kind of OS must i use : win2k or winXp !? because i think that is a bad start but i can succed ;o)

I am totaly lost, i think that this card is a very one that so what i took it !

May this is a new product so the driver must be a very little instable ! but when you see serious tests on the intenet relating the quality of this card, you think that tey succed to install a optimise it ! I am right or not ?


Thanks a lot ! Every body
