Direct X problem.

yakumo fujii · March 3rd, 2003

OK. I've just did a fresh install of WinXP Pro and upgraded to DX9. When I open up DxDiag to do some tests, this shows up....This supposed to be normal? If not, how to fix it?

I use a Visiontek GeForce 3 Ti 200 64MB while my brother, who uses MSI GeForce3 Ti 200 128MB does not have this problem.

Uninstall the driver and try to change to other driver...use drivercleaner at driverheaven.net to completely remove the driver(and registry of course)...just give it a try

yakumo fujii · March 4th, 2003

Even with a brand new install of WinXP with no older drivers?

nguser · March 6th, 2003

I was having a similar problem with my graphics card (geforce2 mx)
PROBLEM is with directx 9
just uninstall directx 9 using utility such as directx buster etc. and then reinstall it.
If it doesn't work uninstall it again and install directx 8 since dx 9 has lots and lots of bugs

.

mhh I wouldn't recommend you trying to uninstall any version of DirectX, speaking for my experience, I ended installing windows all over again after using those DX uninstall utilities.
A question for you, in the DirectX files tab, does it show any error/problem message with the DX files?

yakumo fujii · March 6th, 2003

Nope, nothing.
I just need to know why exactly I can't use the AGP Texture Acceleration even with a GeForce3 Ti 200 and a fresh install of WinXP w/latest Dets.

Edit: Me use ASUSTeK A7A266......

Maybe it's a limitation of the mobo...

REi_FoX · March 7th, 2003

i had some problems with DX 9 once it detects my PC as 740mhz

hoyoyo80 · March 7th, 2003

have u try reinstalling the driver?dx9 and my r9000 always do the same thing after fresh windows installation,so i just make a clean install of the driver...

Phoenix · March 7th, 2003

hey hoyoyo80 nice katakana characters.

mhh, Have you tried installing the latest chipset drivers for your mobo? How about cheking for AGP possible settings in your BIOS....

Kazuya Mishima · March 7th, 2003

Have you checked in your bios settings if you have it enabled?

yakumo fujii · March 7th, 2003

There's no way to disable it in the BIOS. There's only options for AGP Aperture Size.

chp · March 7th, 2003

Why on the earth you want to install DX9 on a DX 8.x VGA board?

REi_FoX · March 7th, 2003

maybe some direct3d features...

Dukelord · March 7th, 2003

Are you sure you're using the final retail version of DirectX 9 or just a beta version.Or else go to www.guru3d.com and download the latest nVIDIA Detonator drivers.I use a GeForce 2 MX 400.On my Win XP Pro,I use the final retail version of DirectX 9 and I don't have any problem with the AGP.Is your graphic hardware PCI or AGP?

yakumo fujii · March 7th, 2003

.......I am using Dx9redist, using Det 42.86, and the GeForce3 Ti 200 IS AGP.
If it was PCI I wouldn't have asked...

Dukelord · March 8th, 2003

Oh well.Then I can't figure out the solution to your problem.Sorry.I hope you get an answer soon.

yakumo fujii · March 8th, 2003

Thanks for the help here...
One more question, would there be a significant performance impact if AGP Texture Acceleration was turned off compared to enabled?

REi_FoX · March 8th, 2003

turning ON the agp acceleration is faster

Dukelord · March 8th, 2003

The AGP bus is able to compete less for processor time compared with the PCI bus thus it runs faster.So that preety much answers your question
