AGP setup

[WPKenny]

I've just installed the latest version 78 dets and used the coolbits hack to get to the reg settings for refresh rates and noticed a sub-menu I've never seen before which tells me that my OS is only working at AGP 2.0 when the rest is 8.0.

How do I know the true speed and how do I cange the OS setting to be 8.0?

Your AGP rate is different from your AGP version.

The last version of AGP was 3.0, and a rate of 8 is fine.

I dunno why I put on the .0 after the numbers.

I was wondering why it's showing as 2 X AGP rate in the OS section when it's 8 X in all the others. Is there a way to find out my true rate and see if there's a bottleneck I wasn't previously aware of?

"In the OS Section"

OS Section? Of what? Where's the 2x rate being shown? Screeny?

Lots of ?s there

?

Have you checked the bios? There's normally an option in there for AGP backwards compatibility (as 8x AGP was a bit buggy in early mobo's/graphics cards), this can force your AGP slot to 2x.

It was late, I was tired blah blah blah

Didn't spot it tbh, thought it all said 8.0

As IM said, check the BIOS, prolly set to 2x in there

Checked and double checked. 8x is enabled in BIOS and Fast Writes enabled.

Searched high and low and can only find peeps witht the same question, Yetm no answer. Just checked mine and its same as your's, 8, 8, 2, 8.

I'd say hop over to guru3d and sign up on the boards there and ask same Q, Know its not answer ya looking for but, Might be worth a go if no joy comes up here.


P.S. If ya go to guru, tell me what ya get back, Would be intrested to know myself
