Problem with MSI starforce 8822 GF3 and D3D, but OGL fine

Well this one didn't take too long but I did end up reinstalling windows, then it turned out I didn't have to. DOH!<br><br>This is a driver problem people!<br><br>Symptoms: Direct3D sucked in Unreal Tournamet but Open GL was fine. Trying to run Descent 3 demo in D3D caused it to crash (OpenGL driver was known to be buggy and didn't work either).<br><br>I was running detonator 22.50's. I tried 21.83s, then 14.10s. Then I tried 7.97's and BANG it all worked!<br><br>UT ran same fps in OGL and D3D and D3 demo worked.<br><br>3Dmark2001score was down from 8098 to ~4600 but that didn't matter cos I don't run DX8 games anyway.<br><br>So anyway all is fine now.<br><br>797's are King! <p></p><i></i>
