Hey all, just got my new 9600p in and installed it. I ran 3dmark01 and got a paltry 10340 on it. With my old ti4200 I was getting 14000+ and that was only an AGP 4x. this leads me to ask "Hey, whats the deal??"
Heres my system:
Asus P4S8X-X
P4a [email protected]
2x 256 PC2100 DDR
ATI 9600pro 128 stock now @ 460/702 stable
40MB WD hard drive.
The only thing I keep noticing is that when I try and enable the "fast write" functionality in the video card settings it is always set to off after the reboot. Its set to enabled in the BOIS and when the ti4200 was in there it was using fast writes and sideband addressing. Could this be the reason my 9600p sucks a$$ so much? How do I fix that?
Help.
