I have no idea how to fix this. My computer thinks my video card is a Quadro4 750 XGL when it's really a TI4400. Anybody got any sugjestions?
Thanks |

Is it used or you original owner? Some of those can be hard modded to quadro. Some are software moded. If it does it on a new install-Id say its hard modded or flashed or somthing.
I cant find the G4 mod but on G2 this is wha tthe hardware mod looks like. http://www.madshrimps.be/gotofaqlink.php?linkid=994
"Below you see an SMD-resistor that has been moved from R102 to R98. This modification has changed a Creative Annihilator Pro card into a Quadro card (check the table above). The solder copper slipped a few times, therefore the scratch around the soldering point."

No its better at gl rendering in real time. But not in games. In games its a good bit slower as I think it disables some of the 3d features one uses for gaming. | |

Yea, It's mine and has been since August of 2002. I've been having problems playing games so I decided it was time to try to fix it. | |

Has it always had issues playing games? And always come up quadro? What does sandre say it is? Most of all, did you buy it used or new? | |
