8X APG not working
I have an 8X AGP motherboard, and radeon 9600xt which is 8x AGP.
Problem is that what ever I do I cant get my system to work in 8X. I have checked my bios and *X is enabled, howere in ati control panel (smartgart) agp is listed as off, I have tested my machine performance with 3dmark05 and the score that I get compares to similar processor and same graphics card to me running at 4x agp. Also my analyis for 3dmark05 tells me that i have only got 4x enabled. I have tried everything, engineer has even changed my grpahics card, but my machine is still telling me that it is only 4x agp. Has anyone any experience of this, is it possible that the problem is with my motherbaord? Any suggestions on how I could sort it out, I want to play half life 2 to best of my machine ability Many thanks |

Did you load the motherboard drivers from the CD that enables the 8x AGP?

Thanks Paul
Motherboard is Leadteck (WinFAst) K7 NCR18. 1 and 2 above done and OK - running DirectX 9c I am not seeing an AGP bridge in the device manager, I see two PCI to PCI bridges. I have loaded chipset from the disk that came with my motherboard, that has not helped, have also downloaded latest version of chipset drivers form manufacturers website and run that - again it has not helped. I have asked support from the manufactures and they just tell me to laod the AGP Port drivers, which I assume is what the two actions above should have achieved. I am running out of options, could it be that my motherboard is at fault? Many thanks for the comprehensive help Jamie |

I assume this is an Nvidia chipset?..if so you could try Nvidia's website
for the unified driver package..I had issues on my A7N8X board with graphics and mem controllers...turned out that I had a corrupt install of XP...you may be looking at that.. |
