AGP Problem

Big Deuce · 26-November-03, 12:36 AM

I own an Abit Kr7a motherboard. I have a Radeon 9000 hooked up to it and have the board set at 4x.
Sisoft sandra is telling me the multiplier is at 1/2x and:

The AGP bus is disabled.

and
Current AGP data rate not optimal, i.e. less than chipsetÃ‚â€™s maximum AGP data rate. E.g. current AGP data rate is 1x while the chipset and the AGP card both support 2x. You should get better performance with a higher data rate but this depends on the application.

I think sandra doenst like your board or something, I have the same exact card and I have had only one problem; in Halflife I can't stop, crouch, then crouch-walk, I have to run then crouch-walk. Something about drivers after Cataylyst 3.8 totally screwed it up, and my Rage 128 Pro didn't do that neither did my TNT2 PCI. But I don't do that anyway I'm too busy going buc on the shotgun

If I remember correctly you can set the AGP bus in the ATi control panel, did you try that?
