9800pro at 4x

Joey · 18-November-03, 07:16 PM

I just installed my new mobo(asus p4c800-e) and installed cat3.9s and it has my card running at 4x with the option of 8x but when i put it at 8x and reboot it reverts back to 4x. Any ideas whats wrong?

Change it in the bios.

Joey · 18-November-03, 09:40 PM

I cant find it in the bios, sorry , and the manual, which ive read 3-4 times doesnt say.

Do u have the same mobo and know what menu its under cause i cant find it.

Im freaking out here cause im thinking my mobo is not working right.

It should be in with the AGP aperature settings and stuff.

Sorry, I do not have the same board.

Joey · 18-November-03, 10:20 PM

thx for the help though, ill check again but im sure theres no option for it.

This is frustrating

Does the board even support AGP 3.0? (8x)

And theres barely any difference in performance between 4x and 8x.

Joey · 18-November-03, 11:10 PM

Yup, its asus' flagship board! says it righ the box. The wierd thing is when i put it at 8x in windows and then restart, as soon as it gets in windows it reverts back. I even tried reformat and reinstall of windows. Its either the card thats broken, or software/bios or the motherboard thats not working.

i beleive it aut detect's the cards speed, i have one here in the box, if i had a spare proc.....i would look....

Yeah, I'm betting that the software (inside windows) can't write to the BIOS, so you'll have to look in there. Check in the manual or go to the asus forum and ask around there

Ok, if didnt think i was a n00b before you will now. I forgot to install the intel chipset drivers. "DOH!" *slaps forehead*
