4x Video Card Running At 2x

[Spicker]

i have a 4x SiS 315 video card AGP. and the drivers are up to date and the agp info thing says tht its running at 2x but can go up to 4x :blink:

im sure my video card can go up to 4x since it is 64mb and it said on the BOX! lol

it does hav jumper settings, i set them correctly.

Is there a setting in your m/board bios (cmos) some have - can your m/board do x4 older olds can't.
Give motherboard more people might be able to help then.

The fact that you are using a PC Chips mobo might be part of the problem.I have never heard anything good about them.I'm just going by what I heard though.

yes i noe PC CHIPS mobos SUK!
but if i says 4x it shud be able to go up to tht

Is there any software on the driver disc you forgot to put on !!!
Not had a Sis for awhile might need something else on to enable it.

yea i installed evrything even updated it to work with DIRECT X 9

The only time I came across a PCChips board I threw it away and installed an Asus :)
Hmm... that was an 810 board, as well.

Anyway, sometimes the chipset manufacturer offers a driver set with a utility to switch the AGP mode - I think I had to do this on a GA5-AX or KT7A with VIA chips. Try the chipset manufacturer's website for their reference drivers, see if that helps.

i dunt noe wut chipset i have

(i dunt noe much about chipsets and stuff :$)

Had a look and this board uses AMD cpu's :blink:

[Spicker]

i noe i cheked on the internet as well and it said it handles AMD but my mobo's manual says its designed for p4 :blink:

is it possible tht the problem might be the PSU?
cuz im only running a 300watt and i heard tht PC CHIPS mobos are picky on the POWER.

Your chipset on your mobo is made by SiS.It is actually an SiS 730S as stated by this page (http://www.pcchips.com.tw/M810LMR.html) and it tells you everything about your board.
