AGP 4x and MW4

[jrichert]

I have the following system specs:
667Mhz P3
Tyan Trinity 400 mobo
256MB PC133 RAM
G400 MAX Dual Head
Soundblaster Live! sound card
Ethernet card
internal modem

Anyhow, my problem is my system will run AGP 2x no problem. I can run most applications under 4x AGP, but there are a few games that I have problems with running 4x AGP, namely Mechwarrior 4 and Shogun. In both of these games I can play them for about 30 min. to an hour before I get a freeze or the graphics card goes nuts. If I set it back to AGP 2x, the problem goes away. I have tried both the newest Matrox certified and uncertified drivers, and had the same results.

Does anyone have any idea as to what the problem could be?

BTW, I know in most cases there is no difference in performance, Shogun for example, but in MW4, the game runs much more smoothly for me under 4x AGP.

Thanks,
John Richert

i have an abit kt7a with agp4x, playing every game fine.

just delta force 3 locks up when i have played several missions, and i exit, then it hangs.

mw4 runs perfect !

4x doesn't give you any speed increase over 2x, so just switch back to that (i've heard that even 1x won't make any difference)

but 4x sounds so cool... and he said he had noticed a frame loss. and that is important i think. not the bare numbers.
