gf ti4600
 

I got an old Creative 3d blaster gf 4 ti4600 from someone with what seems severe core problems ( gives green lines in dos , only boots in windows in save mode or when drivers aren't installed )

I tried to put some custom cooling on the core but that didnt help

I want to try and flash the cards bios before i throw it away tho ,

i downloaded nvflash and tried to flash the bios with the latest 4600 bios on this page : http://whitebunny.demon.nl/hardware/chipset_nvidia.html

but in dos i get the message "pci subsystem ID mismatch"
i tried to find the creative bios on the net but didn't find it :x
maybe the name and numbers on the bios chip may be of use ? its SSTmpf 39VF010
90-4C-NH
0142006-D
and the video encoder chip is from CONEXANT

i find the nvflash utility a bit hard to use , can anyone hold my hand and guide me throug this ? :) i hope i've provided enough info

tx in advance

if your card is giving lines in bios and windows, its borked.

no use in flashing it.

you can try downgrading it to a ti4400 or somethiong, maybe that lower clocks help

hmm, I got 3 dead Ti4600's, they all got the same as topicstarter.
downclocking them didn't help.

and I can add two or three, don't exactly remember. :)

It worked :)
 

I first copied an 4200 bios onto the card , it booted fine and no artifacts, cranked the clock speeds up with rivatuner to stock 4600 settings , no prob

then i just reflashed a 4600 bios , works fine

strange thing is tho , i get a lower score witn this 4600 128 meg @ 300/688 then with my 4200 310/521 on aquamark

( 18000 with 4600 19200 with 4200 , same driver )

but i think ill keep the card for the extra 46 mb ram

cheers

extra 46 megs?

i have the same problem with a tnt2, but im guessing that it has no chance

extra 64 :) typo in my humble opinion

it's possible the reflashing lowered the memory timings..
