AGP Video Card

[Nick5324]

According to PCMark05, my AGP card is in PCI slot 2/6. It lists the AGP slot (6/6) as being available. Windows also says PCI bus 2. I've never had any problems with the card, although when i ran PCMark05, it aborts the test after it does it's thing with the "boxes falling down some stairs". It seems to run fine, fades out, goes back to the desktop and says "test aborted". I actually don't care about this very much, but am curious as to why my AGP card shows as being in a PCI slot and the AGP slot shows as being available.

MB is a MSI K7N2
AGP card is a Geforce 5700LE (yeah, it sucks... i don't game)

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you need to update your Motherboard drivers? Video card drivers? DirectX runtime?

I entered the BIOS and set the initialize display to AGP (it was on PCI). I didn't expect this to make a difference, and it didn't. However, the nvidia display settings does list "Bus: AGP 8x". I have up to date drivers and directX, thanks for the suggestion rbv5.

3dmark does the same thing for me, I assume it's a mistake, or related to the fact that the AGP bus is derived off the PCI bus.

You have an nforce2 based mobo right? That's the chipset I have. Anyhow, I think it's pretty obvious that it's a misreport, as agp texturing clearly works or games would slow to a standstill whenever more than 128MB of video memory was required.
