Hi again all.
I'm still having problems with my graphics card and I'm determined to get this sorted.
It is a Hercules 3D Prophet 9800XT running on Windows XP Pro. However, on any benchmark, the graphics card comes up very slow. On PC Pitstop on the 2D Video test, it gets 75 (other 9800XT cards get around 4 times that when you look at the system comparison). When I run AquaMark3, I get a graphics score of about 1,500 - framerates of down as low as 7.7 on some of the tests.
When I look at the various settings, I find that the AGP speed is 4x (despite my card supporting 8x and the BIOS also being set to 8x). Another window (Start > Run > smartgart) shows that PCI Read/Write are on, but AGP Read/Write are off.
Any ideas anyone? Please?

AGP Read/Write can be enabled in the bios, enable it?

I did have. But they were being rubbish as well, so I uninstalled all the drivers/software, uninstalled my card, reboooted and reinstalled with the origianl drivers which came with my card. I'm just redownloading the new drivers to reinstall.
Have you installed the latest drivers?
