ATI 9600 Pro fps Problem

[Kr4nG]

Hey, i just recently formated my hard drive and installed the exact same drivers for my video card. I got one problem with my fps. I used to get constant 60 never went down and now i get 60 but it goes down to 30 for some reson. I think I know why. I can't set my agp speed to 8x or any other settings. Im pretty sure it was 8x last time. I even went to bios and saw that my agp fastwrite is enebled and stuff.I just don't get it y it wouldn't let me put it on 8x. I got 1.8 64 bit amd cpu and asus A8V deluxe motherboad with 512 mb of ram. And 9600 ati pro video card. What might be the problem guys. :confused:

Did you remember to install the Chipset Drivers? Just a thought

Your right
but i have no clue where to get them the cd that came with my motherboard doesnt say anything about my chipset. That might be the answer but i dont no where to get them. my chipset is via k8t800. http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131510 my motherboard

O man thanks i fixed it the drivers were on that cd but they had a wierd name so i ignored it now everything is back the way it used to be

yep just need the VIA 4 in 1s and your good to go Hyperion would seem a little odd I guess

the windows XP standard chipset drivers are more than enough for your VIA, certian chipset drivers need to be installed for nForce mobos, or else the 1934 eathernet wont work. if the XP drivers are tehre (and they are) shouldnt be a problem. google is your freind :)

no i need my regular motherboard chipset drivers for my motherboard cause its not good enough so i just installed what ever was on the cd and everything is fine and same with my ethernet
