Grandmars X1300 not working properly at AGP 8x
in [ATI Video Cards]
|
Prev: Installing ATI PCI Express (3GIO) Filter Driver in 32-bit Vista UE broke my network connection...
Next: I'm confused. Which driver uses the Crysis Hotfix?
From: Man-wai Chang ToDie on 20 Nov 2007 06:13 When I set it at AGP 8x on Asrock P4I65G (cheap board), the screen would become a mess after a game started for more than 5 minutes. Is it normal? Problem of the card or the board? There is no BIOS setting to set the AGP speed.... -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

From: First of One on 20 Nov 2007 19:38 I've seen this problem with my previous 9800Pro + Soltek K8T800 setup. The Soltek board didn't have AGP. In ATi's SmartGART control panel there is a slider to adjust AGP speed. I've seen it in the Control Panel, not sure if it's still in CCC. Intel-based boards are usually better with AGP support, though. Do you have the latest chipset drivers installed? http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=816&lang=eng Your grandma plays 3D games? -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

But the board should support 8x... *Should*, but many boards don't work reliably at 8x in combination with many video cards. It is not a loss, because AGP8x offers zero benefits over AGP4x in real-world applications (i.e. not 3DMark or SPECViewperf) http://www.sudhian.com/index.php?/articles/show/554 > > Intel-based boards are usually better with AGP support, though.

Did you install the latest one on the web site, or the one that shipped on the CD with the mobo? -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
