Chaos in 1983 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Why does my VGA utility say that my AGP speed is 4x? BIOS is set to 8x...does this affect my cards performance? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodySunday Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Try another program if possible. Try the Nvidia drivers themselves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos in 1983 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 And where do I see that in the nVIDIA utilities? the VGA info is from Gigabyte Utilities that came with my 6800... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 You can grab Rivatuner to tell you all you could ever want to know. Follow the arrows on my little picture to see AGP speed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchuwato Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 check your card/board supports agp 8x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripe Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Most likely your motherboard has agp capability disabled as default (as the 1.7 uber bios does for mine) so just head into the bios and flick it over. Problem solved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos in 1983 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 (edited) Checked Rivatuner and it says Transfer Speed: PCI...but I can't change anything...oh I forgot to mention, I hava a NF7-S rev2.0 What's sideband addressing and fastwrites? should I turn them on? In the BIOS, AGP apperture is set to 64, what's this? Edited November 22, 2004 by Chaos in 1983 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravy Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 what driver are you using? right click anywhere on desktop, choose properties, choose settings tab, click advanced button, then you should see a tab like mine says, "Ti4200 with AGP 8x", click on it, in the bottom there are numbers, see where mine says 6693 at the end, what does your's say at the last four digits? thats your driver version see pic http://xs4.xs.to/pics/04481/driver.jpg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos in 1983 Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 (edited) yeah I have the same drivers...66.93 here's a pic Edited November 22, 2004 by Chaos in 1983 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendellrt Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 I had the same problem after upgrading my platform from nforce to nforce2. No matter what I did in the bios, in windows my card only worked at 4x or pci bus. I ended up reformatting and installing winxp pro again, I have never had a problem since.

gravy Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 you need to go into your bios and make sure things are set correctly for sure, it could also be motherboard chipset drivers are not installed or need to be updated, check the abit forums for other people with the same motherboard and see if there's anyone else with the same problem, i am assuming that the NF7-S supports AGP 8x, and i dont believe they have made a 6800 PCI card..... it could also be a bad driver install, happened to me last night, i am running nav 2005 and have to disable the auto-protect temporarily until the driver is done installing in order for it to install correctly also try using driver cleaner 3 if the above doesn't work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted November 22, 2004 Posted November 22, 2004 Maybe try reinstalling your motherboard drivers. That might do the trick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
