How do i ensure that AGP 4X is enabled?

*Orbital* · 02-27-02, 07:07 PM

I was just wondering is there any way of finding out or ensuring that my Video Card is running @ 4X?

I have an epox 8kha+, with AGP 4X selected in the BIOS but when i run WCPUid it says that AGP 2.0 is disabled. However i've seen other people with this enabled on their Epox 8KHa+, so i'm worried i might be only running in AGP 1X or something.

I have a GeForce 3 Ti 200.

go into the bios and check

have you ran another prog like Sandra to see what it reports? WPCUID may be incorrect....

Sandra and had a squiz.

She tells me the following :

AGP Bus : Version 2.0
Max Data Transfer Rate : 4X

I assume this means that 4X is actually working,
or does it just mean this is what the board can do?

I have the same situation on one of my computers. Almost exactly as what you have. And the answer to your question is that I haven't found one. But I ran 3DMark2001 and I ran on par with the other cards in my rank so I figured that it was enabled. All my stuff works just fine so I assume its okay. Who knows...probably is. I could probably mess with it some more and fix it, but oh well, it doesn't bother me that badly.

What threw me off about mine was that in WCPUID it says AGP Version 2.0 Disabled. Yet i remember seeing a snapshot of a WCPUID screen with an Epox 8KHA+ and the words :

AGP 2.0 Enabled and Data Transfer Rate 4X. (or something to that effect) As a result i'm somewhat worried that my AGP 4X is disabled. I just want to make sure that i'm getting every last drop out of my system, tis all!

I hear ya'!

I have an MSI 645 ultra mb and I know it is capable of AGP 4x, but there isn't anywhere in the BIOS to adjust this. I have a GeForce Tweak Utility that allows me to adjust the AGP speed, but who knows if it's working or what? I have a Visiontek Ti 200 and I only get right around 5789 3d marks, which is a little low. I have a p4 1.5 w/ 512 pc 2100 ddr. (I haven't overclocked anything, not even the fsb)

the detail screen of 3DMark lists what your board is capable of and what it's set at (one only hopes it's accurate)

And here's my board in CPUID
