New Video Card. Loading Times Insane + Crashes.

[BLSmith2112 0]

I upgraded my PC from a 6800GT AGP card, to a 7900GTX card. Before, the game worked pefectly. I've had the game 5 years and within that time I've had three video cards, and never had any problems. Now with this 7900GTX my preformance is horrific.

I can load to the main menu (takes 5+ minutes with NO mods loaded). Once loaded, if I simply open an empty map (even desert island) and place a simple soldier on the terrain and hit preview. It will crash OFP and say this on desktop:

I have upgraded my drivers yes, infact I've even reverted to older drivers (Also the same drivers that were previously on my PC with my older video card).

My Specs:

Specs:

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Manchester 2.2GHz Socket 939

Video: 7900GTX

RAM: GeIL Value 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel

Mobo: ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 Socket 939 ULi M1695 ATX AMD

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 320GB

======================

I've been deprived from OFP for days, I need my fix

Coincidence I have same exact cpu and mb as you.

I am still using the AGP slot for my X800pro tho.

You always been using the PCI version of video cards?

Remembering from the reviews this may be compatibility issue with mb? Maybe check www.asrock.com

All your games run like this?

You update bios,raise voltage video slot, etc...?

Yes.

No, first PCI based Vid Card I've ever had.

I wento to asrock.com, downloaded all latest drivers for their MB. No luck.

This has played little to no effect in other games (preformance wise). However, more games are prone to crashing to desktop now.

Did it myself.

Change BIOS AGP Apreture Size settings to 32 from 64

Ran the flashpoint preferences and hadit auto detect settings

I had to do something like change a value in my UserInfo.cfg file under prog files\codemaster\OperationFlashpoint\User\"your user neame here"

I opened the file w/ wordpad and changed this value viewDistance=4999.999999

to a lower number.
