I purchased a Gforce4 ti 4400 about two months ago and its windowing
performance seems to be horrible. Dragging windows around s extreamely
jerky. Especially wmms. I am useing the latest nvidia drivers (4191).
I think I have all the AGP stuff setup right as it says it is active in
/var/log/XFree86.0.log. 3d works awsome 1600x1200x32 in rtcw and q3.
It is just a windows performance thing. I have been playing around with
it for a while and can't seem to find anything.
Anyone else with this card have similar problems, or know how to fix
this issue?
here are the relivvent parts of the XFree86.0.log:
