Big problem with sideband adressing with a GeForce !

[Thor_Sevan]

A friend of mine owns a Asus V7700 (geforce ultra) and with detonators 6.50, 7,52, and asus 5.33, he is not able to get SIDEBAND adressing working!! Please, he needs help!! How can i get it working?

Thanks a lot !

Quick question, why does he want to enable SBA? Enabling SBA reduces overclocking abilities, and the speed increase is negligable. However, has he tried powerstrip, I think that's the only way other than writing your own BIOS for the card.

there are bios revisions on asus' site that do allow this to be enabled. i believe it is disabled on most nvidia cards by default.

Here is what he replies:
"i want to enable sideband adressing to enable in the same time the AGP TEXTURING!!! In unreal tournament, i get sometimes 22 fps when i play with 12 bots... its unbeleivable!!!! So maybe it is due to agp texturing...

And borealiss, to answer you, asus don't have bios revisions wich correct my sideband adressing. Remember, i have an Asus V7700... not a V6600!!!"

Oh yeah, he sais that with his 64 mb radeon UT runs faster.. ohh... I knew that radeon was good at managing textures in UT but I don't think it should outperform the Ultra... well.. according to Anands benches.
