Vid card is at 2x

Rocket2Fun · 05-09-2001, 10:03 AM

I am running win2k with a asus v7700 video card using the detonator 6.49 drivers. My current video transfer rate is 2x!!!!! this is half of what it should be and I am certain that my Cusl2-c will support 4x

Rocket2Fun · 05-09-2001, 10:21 AM

is there someplace in windows where i can change the rate???
where is it that i can change it
in my bios it's set at 4x well that max transfer rate is 4x
HELP ME

uhhh hello?
does anyone know what to do to make my vid card run at 4x not 2x?????

Make sure you have the latest VIA 4-in-1 drivers installed. Personally, I use the PowerStrip program to overclock and configure my video card. It tells me exactly what's going on with it and has a place where you can set the AGP mode. It's free to download and try.

johram · 05-12-2001, 06:18 PM

you can use power strip to over clock your FSB and other things too.

i have heard good things about that program...

but my comp is so sweet i dont need to over clock

i gotta agree with johram on that one
his computer is super kick ass
too bad mine still is a better server for CS though... hahaha

this summer lanning will rock

on some via chipsets the only thing you can get is 2x
a buddy of mine has a tyan mobo and tyan tech told him to
run at 2x ( at 4x he bsod before he was able to log on )
the difference in quake might be a few frames..
not half
make sure you load the latest 4-n-1 drivers then reload your
video drivers..

if you must run at 4x check your bios it might default at 2x

johram · 05-18-2001, 10:24 PM

ok.

So I am now using powerstrip now to put my Radeon up to 200/200 vs. the underclocked factory setting.

Asus CUSL2-C uses Intels 815EP chipset.

AGP4X is overrated. Don't worry about it since your not missing anything by having it enabled.

Rocket2Fun · 05-18-2001, 11:28 PM

i just want whatever i can get
Win2k is assing my FPS on everything
so i was hoping 4x might help

outriding9800 · 05-19-2001, 07:27 AM

what are your fps ???
what apps do you have running in the back ground ??

my pc is real close to yours..

intel dea815eea mobo
leadtek gts 64MB
512MB ram ( crucial cas2 )
3com nic
sb live sound card
adaptec 29160n scsi card and misc hd

in quake ta dem1 1024x768 high everything i hit about 90 fps

in w2k

( add about 5-10 fps if you are running q3 )

Rocket2Fun · 05-23-2001, 10:47 AM

on win98se i got up too 6700 3dmarks with 3dmark2000
but with win2k i get only 5000... a 1700 point loss is too much for me to handle

any help would be greatly appreciated
ahh yes and sp2 helped my fps a little

outriding9800 · 05-23-2001, 08:05 PM

i haven't used 3dmark.. but the difference in the games
in the two os's ( i have dual boot ) are not that much differnece. in win 98 i was using driver 6.49 and i updated to 7.68 and what a differnce and in w2k i am using 6.88
my pc seems to like that alot.

with my sound card i had some problems with the driver
eating up resources ( even if you are not using the sound card it still slows down your whole system ) so updated the driver to the latest version. note it looks like the w2k driver enables full eax support by default maybe try turning off eax.

do you have anything running in the backgound like icq
and etc disable it.

how do you get on the inet ?? modem or thru a nic card.
if you have nic card and use a modem you can disable the
nic on the fly and enable it without a reboot ( it might be
trying to get an address from dhcp server )

i got the 688 driver from CAD ( http://www.the-ctrl-del.com )
the audio driver you can get from creative labs website

note i might upgrade the the video driver to 7.68
i will tell you how it goes...

Rocket2Fun · 05-29-2001, 02:21 PM

Got the problem fixed
I figured out that with Asus the bios automatically puts your agp port @ 2x if you over clock...
There is a new "tweaked" bios that fixes this problem
you can find it here ... http://www.x86-secret.com/i815twken.php
I highly suggest anyone that is running a Asus Mobo with the i815 chipset to go download this driver set...
It is really useful...
