HELP!!! Geforce FX 5200 in pci mode

[Ivostranger]

Hi everybody,

What a stupid problem, but unfortunately I cannot solve it up to now.

So I have Gigabyte 8IP1000, Intel865PE chipset, AGP x8 slot, etc. Updated BIOS to F6 ver.
Nvidia Geforce FX 5200, 128, agp x8.

This card seems to run in PCI mode.
The AGP texture acceleration is N/A...Runs bad in 3D...

I tried to do it by myself, installed DX9.0a, latest drivers, but no result...
Hope U know how to solve this problem and THANX a lot.

Have you checked to ensure that your primary graphics is selected as AGP and not PCI in the BIOS setup?

[Nighthawk]

The primary graphics setting only says which one will be the primary video card if there is more than one installed in a system..

Did you install the Intel motherboard drivers (http://downloadfinder2.intel.com/scr...ProductID=1049)? Those would install the GART that would let Windows use your video card in AGP mode instead of PCI mode.
