Hi,

I have downloaded the Squid & werewolf demo from the Nvidia site.... they seem to run very slow.... slower than my old Hercules Gforce 2 MX card ... Whys this ???

In the options I note it says ... Bus Type : AGP (PCI mode)

Is the card running in PCI mode or something ??? I thought it was a 4 x card ????

I have tried the drivers that came with the card and the Nvidia Detonator drivers... no difference ... Or do I need to turn something off ???


2 Ghz Pentium 4
512 Meg Ram
Gigabyte 8irX Mobo
MSI Gforce 4 Ti 4600

Windows 2000 Professional


Thanks in advance

lee,

That does not sound right.

I was looking at your Mobo and it is a i845 DDR Chipset. That is a good chipset for AGP Card unlike the Via Based motherboards.

Is your motherboard the 8IRX or the 8IRXP?

If it is the 8IRXP BIOS F5 fixed:

Fixed easytune show incorrect PCI frequency when AGP/PCI divider is changed in BIOS setup
Click to expand...

But that was the only hint of anything related to the AGP that was fixed by BIOS updates.

If your BIOS is not the latest, (8IRX-F9, 8IRXP-F7) you could try flashing the BIOS to the latest Version.

Good Luck,

Richard

my apologies .... its the 8IRGXP...
just checking the BIOS...

I just dont seem that impressed with the card... I have a NEC LCD 1810x and games can play at 1280 x 1024 - they seem very nice... but those demos I remember were faster ... especially wolf and squid...

Did you install the intel inf for your board?
It includes the AGP driver since it is part of the chipset.
