Secondary Radeon 9800 Pro

[BlindApex]

hey, I have a Radeon 9800 pro 128mb, and like in the Display properties and everything there's always a Secondary Radeon 9800 Pro....and it come first in the list, before "Radeon 9800 Pro"

i've been having poor performance from mine, could this be why?

 

[GameGURU]

yup, except thats an odd problem, the secondary should be after the primary. at least i would think.

 

[BlindApex]

like whenever i install drivers, it always enables the secondary first

 

[GameGURU]

this may seem stupid but you sure you dont have another vid card, perhaps an onboard?

 

[BlindApex]

i dont think there's onboard...it came with a tnt2 and i upgraded

nothing shows up in AIDA32...and if i could get into my BIOS, which Sony so nicely locked up for me, i would disable the onboard card.

i think you have driver conflicts....i am installing a 9800 pro on my computer tomorrow and since i am currently running a nvidia card i will be reformatting just to make sure i get rid of all reminents of the nvidia drivers so i dont run into conflicts otherwise you are not using anywhere near the capability of that card....i would call the customer help line about accessing bios if you really cant....you should be able to still access bios on a factory built computer....just not access all adjustments within it.
