ATI 9800 Pro will only Run 4x on my Asus PC-DL Dual Xeon System - HELP!
My problem is that my graphics card will only run in 4x not 8x.
My system is based on the ASUS PC-DL Deluxe Dual Xeon Motherboard with 2 x 3.06Ghz CPUs & 8x AGP slop. I have 2 x 512Mb PC2700 (PC333) Memory. 2 x 160Gb SATA Harddrives (Raid 0). My graphics card is an ATI 9800 Pro (128Mb). My OS is Windows XP Pro (For my sins) I have the latest 1003 BIOS from Asus. I downloaded the latest drivers for the graphics card (as of today). I enter the display setup, go to the tab that refers to AGP speed (can't remember that tab name.). The slider shows it is set to 4x. I slide it to 8x and apply. Windows XP asks me to reboot, I say yes. Upon reloading the screen is slow to update and after a few seconds flickers and stablises. I enter the display setup again and the slider has returned to 4x! I am a systems engineer with many years experience (not to say I don't mess up once in a while) but I am *fairly* confident it is nothing related to jumper settings or "is it plugged in right?" I would love to fix this issue as it is really bugging me that I have spent £250 on a card that isn't running at its full potential. Is my graphics card compatible with my motherboard? Your help would be greatly welcomed. Regards, Christopher Howarth E-mail: -- Web: http://www.kitt.net |
