What's wrong with AGP???

[polar]

I have a Radeon LE on a CUSL2 mobo. An error once occured in a game: "out of video memory". The AGP setting in BIOS is 32MB, but when I check Sandra 2001 -> video system, it shows "AGP 8MB" !!! Then I switched the BIOS to 64MB and check again, now "AGP 24MB"?!

No wonder I couldn't run the 64MB texture test in 3DMark 2K. WTH went wrong? is that a driver problem? (using v7089 in win98)

c'mon, anybody? please?

Re-install and see what happens.

Is there a seperate setting for your aperature? Is this shared memory or is there memory on the board just for the vid? How much memory do you have? What type?

You must only have 64 MB of system memory. Get another 64 MB.

I have 128MB SDRAM in the box, and 32MB DDR video RAM...

Sandra is SUCK!...Besides that program has problems with the 815....which reminds me...3DMark 2K is suck...

I have the same mobo set to AGP 4x, 64 meg aperture and a Radeon 64. I believe to run that 3Dmark2K 64 meg test, you need 64 meg of video card memory. Sisoft shows mine as having 64 meg video mem, and 24 meg AGP mem. I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm able to run it with a 32 MB GeForce 2 GTS. SiSoft Sandra reports mine as having 32 MB RAM and 56 MB of AGP memory. How accurate that is I don't know, but it does run that test on my system. I wonder if it is a driver or hardware related issue with the Radeon?
