6800gt AGP detected as PCI. Help?

Hello,
I am confused as to why my Albatron 6800GT (AGP) is being detected as a PCI card. I have tried googling the problem with no luck. I'm not even sure if it is a problem but it's just annoying me. I am currently running a 3800+ X2 on XP64 and my motherboard is the Gigagyte GA-K8U-939. Attached is a picture of my problem. All help is welcome, thanks!

 

Do you have your chipset drivers installed? Most of the time this issue is solved by installing those.

 

Happened to me when I have been changing drivers a lot. It is only a mislabel or something like that.
Or look in your GART/AGP settings, you will see, that your maximum OS AGP speed is 2x, wrong again.
Measure the speed in 3D Mark 03/05/06 and it should be equal as before or as other stock 6800GT cards with similar computer specifications.

 

Simple resolve - Install your motherboard drivers.

 

I have installed my chipset drivers. Got them from here. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ClassValue=motherboard&ProductID=1914&ProductName=GA-K8U-939
First I install the chipset drivers which include the PCI to AGP controller, then I install my Nvidia drivers.
But the card still reports as PCI.

EDIT: I ran 3dmark 03 and got a score of 8335 so I guess it is just a mislabel.
Thank you all for your input!

 

8335 is far too low for a 6800GT. I scored 11.5k stock when I had one.

This is normally resolved by installing motherboard drivers but as you have already tried that hmmmm, possibly a different set of motherboard drivers (an older revision) could possibly solve the problem.

 

I can get 9917 with my 8-pipeline LE! That score is very wrong..

 

@atticus21
That score is very low. I've got a 6800GS AGP and I score 9635, if I had even a low end AMD 64 it would be in the 10,000 easily.

@Gromuhl'Djun
But you are also OC'ed which is why you're scoring higher than I am...and your AMD 64 helps a good bit too.

 

What does Rivatuner show?

This is as it should be....

@Wolf68K: I should think your score should be higher than that, at 300/700 with 12x1,6 I got almost 11000 but there were some minor artifacts in shader2.0+ games and apps so I turned it back to 8x1,6.(Anyway, your 3dmark05 will outscore my 4100 by a great margin probably)

 

this is what rivatuner shows

 

make sure bios is at 8x

uninstall video then chipset drivers

go into device manager and make sure the cpu>agp driver is removed. if not remove it.

install chipset drivers completely

then install video drivers.

 

Is that's true then I sure as hell would like to know where my bottleneck is.
3DMark01: 17,642
3DMark03: 9635
3DMark05: 4308
When I went from PC2100 to this Kingston HyperX PC3200 RAM, 3DMark01 gained 2,000+ points, 3DMark03 gained 200 points, 3DMark05 gained only around 40 points.
I've got XP slimmed down as muc as possible, short of uninstalling SAV9 but then I need an antivirus. I do have some very minor background things running like FileZillaServer but it's no CPU unless it's in use and less that 1MB of RAM while idle.
Also seti@home which should give up the kernel when something else needs it.
I'll try later with SAV9 auto protect disabled, seti and filezillaserver closed and anything else I can think of. But some how I don't think they can be hold back 100 points much less 400-500 points in 3DMark03.

 

I tried again with a different set of drivers resulting in no success. I think it might have to do with XP64 so I will probably format and reinstall 32bit XP in a couple of hours when I get back from school.

 

....disabling services is overrated....

score seems decent for a athlon xp...

 

Overrated or not, it helps free up CPU and RAM to get rid of what you don't need and don't use.

 

not true, at all, upon the launch of a priority full screen aplication, anything in ram is pushed into the pagefile allowing the game full usage.

and cpu time.. pfft.. i have 60 apps open and my cpu idles fine at 0-2%

 

It can indeed be that the 64bit drivers are the fault, afaik there are still not enough good drivers for XP64. I tried it a for a few weeks a while ago, but I couldn't use my Scanner and my soundcard wasn't fully supported (even though it's a standard onboard thingy)
So it can be that gigabyte just screwed up with those drivers....

 

Fine you're right and me, along with everyone else, is wrong. I don't give a s**t. If I want to turn off services I don't F'ing need then I'm going to do it. If you want to keep them running that's your choice.

 

There are a lot of apps that only take a little of memory indeed, but some (like azureus) take up a LOT of processing speed.
@Wolf68K: Go easy on wolverine, he's very sensitive If you're running your operating system on the 5400RPM HD, it can also cause the little lower scores that you're getting.

 

I'm not really sure about what scores to expect from the 6800GS as I haven't seen any benchies on that card yet. But I have an Athlon barton cpu and my 6800GT scores are:

3dm05 = 5623
3dm03 = 12062

The last time I ran them. Just as a comparision for you.
