That's what I did. I have also tried it on a spare hard disk with a clean windows installation and only get 50% performance. I have got 75% before but that was by changing the PCIE downstream setting in the BIOS from auto to enabled but doing that gave me serious artifacting issues in game. I...
Hello, I upgraded my AGP 9800 Pro to a PCI Express 7600GT overclocked edition and there seems to be little improvement in fps in games that I have tried (HL2 Lost Coast and Just Cause).
I ran a test on pcpitstop.com and it said my card was performing at 51% as well as other people's 7600GTs...
I have tried it on a clean windows installation on a spare hard disk as well as disabling the AGP driver through device manager. I have also set PCI Express as the default graphics solution in BIOS.
I have been playing Half Life 2: Episode 1 with high settings and get around 50 FPS.
I also have noticed something else now.
I can't select 1280x1024 in some games like Battlefield 2 and Fear Extraction Point Demo anymore. The highest they will let me go is 1152x864.
"Our results confirm that there is not a throughput performance penalty for using AGP over PCI Express on the ASRock 775Dual-VSTA. In fact, just the opposite is true in this case as our AGP graphics cards consistently scored better than their PCI-E counterparts. This is attributable to the PCI...
I'm using the ones on the CD now, it says 91.31
I got 68 FPS in the Lost Coast VST with these settings.

The Nvidia settings tool says I'm getting 46 degrees C idle and it goes up to 56 under load.
What concerns me is I'm getting 30 FPS on Just Cause which is just 10ish more...
I did a full test of the system on pcpitstop and I have 3Dmark06 and on 1280x1024, no AA, I got 1020 for SM2, 1037 for SM3, 1591 for CPU and 2716 3D Marks. I will try the Lost Coast VST now.
Hi, today I upgraded my AGP 9800 Pro to a PCI Express 7600GT overclocked edition and there seems to be little improvement in fps in games that I have tried (HL2 Lost Coast and Just Cause).
I ran a test on pcpitstop.com and it said my card was performing at 47% as well as other people's...
Thats my concern also, I'd like to buy that motherboard so I can use my current DDR1 RAM and upgrade to 2gig DDR2 when I can afford it but the PCI-E x4 thing is worrying me. Would it mean a x1900GT or x1800XT runs slower than it would in a PCI-E x16 slot?
