Re:Connect3D X800 XT PE BIOS - 2005/04/08 18:55
My last 3DMark05 Demo came out to 5904. Anyway I want to update the bios because I read this at Extremetech.com.
"It appears that the AGP versions of ATI's Radeon X800 XT PE and X850 XT PE are both bottlenecked at the AGP interface on Half-Life 2. What's odder still is that this issue cropped up only on this game, and occurred even when AA and AF were disabled. At a test resolution of 1280x1024, a 256MB card should still have a lot of memory left over for texture caching, so we don't think this is a cache-thrashing issue. According to ATI, there's an issue involving AGP buffer size on ATI's bridge chip that causes AGP transfers to be incorrectly slowed down. A video BIOS update fixes this issue, which should make AGP and PCIe scores essentially the same if the two systems have identical CPUs."
That's from an article called 3d Graphics Price Performance shootout on Extremetech.
My system specs are as follows:
Processor: AMD 64 3400+
MB: MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R
Ram: 1 GB DDR 3200 CAS 2.5
and of course the video card is the Connect 3D Radeon X800 XT PE.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
