Finally I can run Quake 3 with my rampage now (in game or demo) incl. TitaniumGL.

I have taken some fatals errors pictures but where can i see a log file of these errors in windows 98se?

After two hours of rampage running I have some stranges things on the screen and perhaps it's artifact. anyone need to confirm me this.

I will upload here some videos and screenshots for quake 3.
Some fatal errors pictures too.

Trevor.

If you are running Quake3 with TitaniumGL wrapper you will get bad texture color. If you are talking about it, yes, it is normal since TitaniumGL has problems handling textures.

ps. I only hope you are not talking about your card has problems.  Cry

I am using GLDirect, not sure if you are talking about it. For now it is the wrapper with more stability even I have not BSOD and I can run all the timedemos.

Later I will upload pics, but I got 800x600 all full demo002, AVg FPS 12 and 640x480 full Avg FSP 21. Not sure where place such screenshots since there are a lot of open topics with Ramapge Shots. LoL

That is what I was running and provided on the Rampage CD, I finally found a serial (provided by the software company as it is no longer supported)

Hi,

Fatals Errors pictures:

...

...

...

...

...

...

Some others pictures:

...

...

...

...

(After 1 hour in action...)

...

(After 2 hours of UT, Half-Life and Quake 3 in final)

It's a picture of artifact I have is it normal?

...

...

37,5° inside the socket on a gold pin ( chip removed ).

Turn off the Rampy for 30 minutes and Turn ON artifact disappear.

nb. I don't know if it's artifact or just bad pin contact btw socket and chip.

1) That does not look good.

2) Why run the card that long? Unless you are active in working on a driver or stability issue then you are risking the board for no good reason.

In my opinion.

Untill we come up with a better D3D driver I don't see things progressing much further, it is one reason I stopped testing since it was clear to me the situation was not going to improve. I had tried three different OS supported by the driver, 4 or 5 different versions of direct x and several different motherboards in a search for better function.

That is why I posted all the results of my testing so other Rampage owners would not beat down the same path reinventing the wheel and putting their cards at risk.

BSOD are normal since D3D driver core is unstable and it needs to be fixed.

About the problem in Quake3, I never got such error in the menu. It does not look as a problem for bad contact between chip and socket if you are using an OpenGL warapper there can be the problem.

I can't say I have ever run across that in my testing, does look like something overheating.

@gdonovan:

I just run some games and benchmarks to take some videos and upload them here today. It's because I put my rampy for 2 hours without risks because the temperature doesn't go UP than 38° on the socket. when I get the artifacts i measure the temp.
Thanks for your tips.

@osckhar:

I have used TitaniumGL drivers only with quake 3.

I will upload the video. You will see here:

Quake 3 after 2 hours:

http://youtu.be/YQLnPVwLI5A

My card work good not worry about that.

Nice to hear it.

I was checking BSOD and any of them makes reference to VXD driver. Seems the BSODs you are getting makes reference to NOT stable set pc.

Did you check my quake 3 video artifacts what is that?
Ok and how can I set a stable pc?

I know such problems from overclocking including a high temperature. The problem is clearly GPU realted and not memory.

Try using some thermal grease between GPU and socket clamp. Don't use to much of it, the thermal grease must not flow under the GPU!
