Installed this card a couple of weeks ago, and I am finding that it appears to be conflicting with my creative labs 128bit pci sound card. Basically ever since the graphic card was installed the sound has become very distorted, and in turn the graphics card seems very slow and jerky. I have tried it on several games that ran fine with my old 16 meg card, but they are now much slower, so the card performance seems worse than the 16 meg one. Have tried to get new drivers for both , but creative's website only have ones that need some kind of other program to run them. Help please. The main system is running on 196k of ram, windows ME and a 500meg hz processor

 

Try different nvidia video drivers maybe.
They dont have to be creative specific drivers

Use the Nvidia reference drivers from the Nvidia site.

Are you using a Via chipset motherboard?

 

Those soundblaster pci128 have some terrible drivers at the moment.

Bought and fitted one for a mate not so long ago - I took got horrible distorted sound. Turned out, if you goto device manager and find the sound card in the list of device, then properties then, settings (?) you can turn OFF the AUTO DETECT DIGIAL / ANALOGUE, and set it permamently to ANALOGUE. This should cure things.

Also, I'd remove the driver, and then install the sound card driver ONLY and nothing else (cdplayer, mixer, etc) as this messes things up too!

Hope this helps

 

Im running the same! no conflict!

 

Make sure your sound card isnt using the PCI slot next to the AGP slot as this may cause problems.
Also go into device manager and disable sound blaster emulation,unless you run DOS games you dont need it.
Im now running Win XP and its been along time since ive had to mess around with this problem but this "should" sort it
