AGP Acceleration and WIN2k??

[ku]

I have a GF4 ti4200 running on Win2k and I just realized something. Through options in the display options (added one of those coolbit thingies or whatever to force it to display certain pages) I found that AGP speed is set at "PCI". Whenever I try to change it to 1x, 2x, or 4x, it just resets back to default. On the screen where it says if my GPU, chipset, OS, etc. supports certain things, I see 0X next to OS. Does WIN2k not support AGP speeds? Please Help. I've been suffering some major game laggage T_T_T_T_T

The usual...

1. Latest DirectX?
2. Latest drivers?
3. (and since you are using Win2k) Latest Service Pack?

A lack of AGP acceleration is usually caused by old/non-existant chipset drivers being installed and an AGP aperture set below 64 MB.

Check both of these things.

The AGP apeture is set at 256, but I haven't looked into the chipset drivers in a while. Also, could BIOS be an issue? I'll update that too =O

updated everything... and i was able to improve performance by alot but the AGP speed is still a problem... T_T

All I can add is that I'd lower AGP Aperture to something more in line with both your video card's and system's memory, like 128MB.

What are the results of the dxdiag video tests? Does it report that AGP is working there?

The AGP apeture is set at 256

Try 64 MB and 128 MB.
