Hi Everyone,
I recently got a Asus Geforce 2 MX.
System Configuration:
PIII 450
Via Pro Plus (AGP 2X)
Windows 2000 Professional
Nvidia 6.31 official drivers.
96MB SDRAM
Now, I dont get a good performance in games like UT, SOF... My old 3dfx Banshee was better than this.
I decided to benchmark the results with 3D Mark 2000 v1.1. The score I get is around 1900-2000. Moreover it trys to load the 32 MB Texture stuff but doesnt work. My banshee score was 56.7FPS in it and it didn't even test it.
Please help me with this.
Thanks.

If the 32MB test wouldn't load, then it sounds like an AGP issue. This would also explain the miserable performance, since nVidia cards depend more on AGP than Banshee cards do. (Banshee cards didn't support AGP features very much -- they were basically PCI cards in an AGP slot.)
If you haven't already, try installing the latest AGP driver from the Via 4-in-1 drivers ( www.viatech.com).
Also, run DXDIAG and check the Display tab to see if AGP acceleration is enabled.
If not, then try installing the newest Via/Win2K patch that they released a couple of days ago. Also check your BIOS to make sure that AGP is running at 2x and that the AGP aperture is set to more than 4MB. (4MB and below disables AGP texturing.)

Hi,
Well I downloaded the Via 4 in 1 Drivers.
Now I dont know how to install them. There is a setup file. If I execute that, it open up the blue screen and says. It will in the following:
VxD AGP
Inf 1.02
then when I click next, it says KT133/AGP4X
But I dont have AGP4X.
Moreover, I already installed that WIN2K/VIA patch from Microsoft. The AGP is also enabled in DXDIAG.
What to do
Please help
