Re: Here's what I heard back from ATI, don't know if it work

Post by jonwest 01 »

OK another hour of my life wasted....<br><br>I went through all the steps and I still have no AGP texturing. There were 2 anomolies with the install though.<br>1) I couldn't uninstall the old ATI driver through Add./Remove programs I got an error that said could not initialize.<br>2) I couldn't find any files that were called atigart.exe.<br><br>Apart from that though this ATI driver was the first I've ever installed under WIn98 that didn't casue a windows protection error on boot up when the VIA Gart was installed. I guess we'll have to get back to ATI and tell them to try again. <p></p><i></i>

Good question! I would like to know this as well. I recently built a K7 box, that now houses the Radeon card. MY AGP texturing problem has gone away. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> I still have a PCI VD 3-3000 in my K6 box, waiting on funds for a MX400 card. But if the new drivers fix the AGP texturing problem, I would move the Radeon card back to the K6 box, as soon as I can get the funds for the new 8500 card. <p></p><i></i>

AGP texturing

Post by davidbec »

Hello all I was reading the post about the AGP texturing problem and realised that I worked on the same problem on the AMDZone Forums. <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://bbs.pcstats.com/amdzone/messagev ... <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>The test showed that AGP Texturing was disabled by the latest ATI driver (4.13), while using older drivers (4.12) enabled AGP Texturing. <br><br>However that test also showed that enabling AGP Texturing (in my case at least) the system became slower. ie Lower 3DMark2000 score. <p></p><i></i>
