Help me get AGP 4X working

[arod324]

When I go into the registry where you tell me, there are only three strings with values!
There is only "Deault", "Disable Hierarchal Z", and "enablewaituntildxtrilist2". Do I need powerstrip installed first or something?
Thanks

Save this as a .reg file and merge to install them. These are the keys that give maximum stability and performance.
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ATI Technologies\Driver\0000\atidxhal]
"EnableWaitUntilIdxTriList2"="1"
"TableFogEnable"="1"
"WFogEnable"="0"
"ZFogEnable"="1"
"DisableHierarchicalZ"="0"
"DisableHyperZ"="0"
"FastZClearEnabled"="1"
"Vsync"="0" or 1 to enable VSYNC.
"AntiAlias"="0"
"ZFormats"="15"
"ExportCompressedTex"="1"
"DitherAlpha"="1"
"ExportWBuffer"="0"

Also remove or rename ATIGART.EXE and remove ATIPOLAB from the msconfig startup tab. After that enjoy the card. Also change the 0 to 1 to enable VSYNC if you choose..

Replace the 0000 in

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ATI Technologies\Driver\0000\atidxhal]

with the number found in your registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ATI Technologies\Driver

What those guys said.

Okay, well now I have all the stuff enabled, but I'm only getting 4000 in 3DMark 2K in 1024X768 32Bit color. This is WAY less than what www.hardocp.com was getting. The system specs aren't that far off from mine. I've got a Duron 600@900, 128 MB PC133, and I'm running the Radeon @166, which is the default, and what they tested at hardocp on the first few tests. Any suggestions to raise this up to what it should be? (They are getting results of 4900 for 32 bit 1024X768)
Thanks,

All old driver refs deleted from system and reg?

 

[arod324]

I'm pretty sure I got most of them, and BTW i'm using the 3056's.... are those the one's I should be using?

 

[Taz4158]

Upgrade to DX8a and try the 7075s from ATI or the 7078s from rageunderground.

 

[oldfart]

Yeah, you should be doing a little better than that. I get about 4680 @ 1024 x 768 x 32 with a PIII 933.

Okay, I just disabled Vsync on direct 3d, and now i'm getting 4240 (32bit). I took out all the 3dfx, voodoo strings in my registry.
Also I tried enabling 4X in the powerstrip or ati control thing, but it wouldn't allow me to go over 1X. I have an Abit KT7, and i have "AGP4X" enabled in the bios. Any ideas?

 

[arod324]

Also, Powerstrip is recognizing my video card as being on PCI bus 1 and being device 0........... and that i might need to check the bios (already done) and check the agpgart file. Unfortunately I dont' have this file. Is there anyone with a KT133 chipset and a radeon want to send me this file? or help me fix it?

 

[arod324]

Another thing,
I was looking through my registry, and I have this line in the software/atitech/blah/blah/and it says "bus type" data "AGP(0x000000008)". Do you think that this means that it is enabled or disabled? Right now I'm thinking disabled, because "1" usually means that it is, and this has a "0" to start off with. Could someone help me with this?... just search the reg for "agp" and you'll stumble upon it.
