spreynolds Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I recently installed XP Pro on another drive so I am currently running XP Pro and 2000 My GF2 works fine in 2000 but in XP it runs like a dog infact the only way I can get game to run like they do in 2000 is to AGP speed in my bios from X4 to X1 Does anyone know is this problem common in XP and GF2 cards? Anyone know of a fix? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtgriffith Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 What other hardware is in your system? Which driver are you using and what version is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spreynolds Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 Athlon 1.33 @ 1.4 256 RAM PC2100 40GB 7200 10gb 5400 DVD 16X Pioneer CDRW SONY using 21.83 drivers which seem to work the best better than 23.10 I have tried the AGP on 2X in the bios but it crash when you try video or dvds and is very unstable when playing games so I have it set on 1X which is very stable and does everthing I want although I must be losing performance somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spreynolds Posted January 11, 2002 Author Share Posted January 11, 2002 already using the latest ones ASUS A7A 266 but why would that help it already works fine in 2000 it seems to me its an XP problem or a driver problem but I have already tried almost every Det driver there is. Besides I believe I am not the the only one with the prob I have seen a few posts talking about the same problem. thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Phatty Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I have the same video card using Windows XP Pro, and I am not having any video problems, so I am guessing it is some other peice of hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheer Posted January 11, 2002 Share Posted January 11, 2002 I have the same mobo, using Bios rev. 1004 (they're up to 1009 now) and everything is fine at AGP 4x. I use Det 4 22.40's with a Leadtek GF2 Pro, and I'm running XP Pro. How's your Athlon overclocked? Multiplier or FSB. If it's FSB that may be causing instabilities so try running at stock 1.33 and then turning AGP 4x on and see if that makes a difference. In saying that I can overclock the FSB on mine and get no problems :ponder: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
