Hey guys.. im having a problem with my benchmarks on my 9800pro..

My benchmarks on my card used to be 20100 with 3dmark01...

yesterday i formatted my hard drive and i installed windows and the lastest driver from ati.com and my benchmarks suddenly went down to 15,400..

whats the deal with this?

meh just a benchmark dont worry about it gameplay is what matters

well...in part yes but that means something is messed up...not sure what it is. What was your last card?

i just built this computer a few weeks ago..

i noticed that agp texture acceleration is not supported in dxdiag.

would that be the problem?

and my 03 scores droped from 6000 to 5000

I just noticed something else.. in the advanced display settings i cant set the AGP to 8x.. it is set to none...

where can i find chipset drivers for an Asus A8V

I know your problem. The AGP drivers for your mobo are not installed. Install them, then make sure everything is set to optimal levels in BIOS, and it should be back to normal. Good luck.

where can i get them?

there not on the cd that came with the motherboard.

 

[beedubaya]

What Asus mobo do you have?

asus.com

edit: mine were on the CD they were called "4 in 1 drivers"

thanks guys.. i found them on the cd..

i ran into another problem though...

lol i dont know if its because ive been overclocking my cpu or waht.
but it said that windows is shutting down to prevent damage or something..

then windows wont boot up or anything...

so i just formatted and reinstalled windows since i didnt have much on my computer anyways...

and now ive got everything working great...

when i get finished downloading 3dmark01 i'll post my new scores
