hello all,

When I go to my smartgear tab under "settings->advanced" it teels me that my current AGP speed is "off". I try and set it to 8x and it prompts me to re-start. When I do, and go check that tab again, it reads "off". How do I get it to stay at 8x? 8x is enabled in my bios. Any help would be fantastic!! Im only getting a 3550 or so in 3DMark 03' and I think i should be getting much higher. (Latest driver - 04.7)

Cheers,
Josh

SYSTEM SPECS

ASUS K8VSE Delux mobo
AMD athlon 64 3000+ processor (FSB OC'd to 230)
Crucial Balistics PC4000
ATI 9600XT vid-card

Latest driver - 04.7
 
if its set to 8x in the bios, then don't worry, its at 8x.

8x, 4x, i doubt you'd see a diff of more than 100pts in your score anyways.
 
thats the weird thing... all the other x's (4x etc.) are grayed out, i dont have the option. And if there isnt that much a difference why am i seeing 3550 in 3d mark?? Thanks for all your help!!

cheers,
josh
 
did you just get the card? what drivers are you using? is it oc'd?

i see lots of 9600pro's and xt's doing about 4000-4500 in 03. thats full out oc'd.

your cpu won't help you alot in 03, its vid card dependant.
 
The chipset drivers worked! Im getting just over 3800 now in 3d mark. One small problem left though; It gives me an error on the 3rd sound test and ends the benchmark, giving me my reading of just over 3800. I have a Sound Blaster 5.1 atm, how can i fix this? And ive seen 9600xt's with 3dmark scores of over 6000, how do i get my system there? Thanks for your help.
 
I have never heard of a 9600XT doing anything close to 6,000.You have a link?
My top score was 4200+ with my 9600XT @526/330.with a 2500@ 200x11.
