Just took out my X1950 and put the 2600XT back in, deleted the driver, booted in safe mode and cleaned out old driver files with Drive Sweeper, then installed the 8.8 hot fix (the one that is for AGP and DirectX issues) but alas it made no difference to the DX speed. This is annoying...
So are there any DX only benchmarks out there I can use? This card is wasting so much time it's costing me a fortune. Thing is getting a decent AGP card is next to impossible now. Problem with the more powerful ones is they need silly Watts on the PSU and are noisy. I actually have a decent 450W PSU but I'm running two hard drives, 2 optical drives, an external sound card hub thing and several USB devices plus the P4 is power hungry so I think they eat up the power a lot and don't leave enough for the X1950 which used to hang quite often (it could just be faulty).
