  • To all ALi V users.

    I've noticed many ALi V users was not able to run their G400s at AGP2x, so here's something juz for enabling AGP2x for ALi V mobo owners.

    I have the excellent Asus P5A(rev1007) mobo and here's what you need to do with the ALi AGP registry settings to enable AGP2X for your G400 SH 16Mb.

    Goto:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Class\Display\0000\Settings\CPU\AGPFlags set to "-1" (same as AGP2x registry hack from Ant)

    and

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ALi\ALi AGP Driver\AGPDataRate and set value from "0" to "2"

    This will enable AGP2X. Not too many know that although the registry hack is already making the G400 itself running at AGP2X, but its the mobo that is stopping it from screaming at AGP2X due to the ALi AGP registry settings.

    In the case with VIA MVP3, I'm not too sure how to enable AGP2x, sorry...

    Hope this helps. :-D

    Thanks I'll give it a shot. It used to work just fine before they 'disabled' it from the AGP drivers..

      For the MVP3, it's at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\ViaGart. There should be a value "Turbo" set to "01 00". The viagart setup program asks if you want to install in normal (1x) or turbo (2x) mode, but if you change your mind down the road, now you can without having to reinstall the drivers I wouldn't recommend trying to force AGP 2x in the PD drivers on one of these boards, however. Occassional random lock-ups with no increase in graphics performance - why bother?
