When I goto my Nvidia properties, it says "Bus Type: AGP(PCI Mode)" I have an AGP GeForce 256, and it usually shows AGP Mode. Does anyone have a solution? I have noticed a dramatic performance drop.

what motherboard do you have?
Go to the BIOS and set it to run at either 2X or 4X
I have an Asus A7V-E. I have never had this problem before, and I have the latest nvidia drivers.
go to your bios ... hmm it should be under.. something like video properties or advanced properties something like that.. that will fix it no worry
nope, everything in bios is set how it should be.

I had this same problem with a geforce 3. When I upgraded to a new motherboard, I think I forgot to set the BIOS to 4x AGP, and It defaulted to 2x. I changed that and It was fine I think. But since you said that you checked that, I'd recommend that you switch to a different version of det's and disable things like fastwrites and/or SBA. If those things don't work, it has to be something in the BIOS or a PCI card that it doesn't like.
Do you have the AGP miniport installed, I switched my video card out and it also said it was in PCI mode untill I reinstalled the AGP miniport.
I would make sure I had the latest nvidia drivers & MS directx, as you are within windows (ie. <properties>) If you already have, try a retrofit of you entire graphics configuration.
By the way whats your mobo chipset?
I had the same problem, too on my Tyan Trinity S2390 (Via KT-133) motherboard. The problem was that Windows XP was recognizing my motherboard's AGP bridge as a "PCI to PCI bridge" in Device Manager. In Device Manager, I had to manually change the driver for the bridge to select the Via AGP bridge.
Asus boards with the Via chipset stop at 2x AGP, and I think are actually disable from AGP mode by nvidia's drivers because of unstability (like the AliMagik ones)
Rivatuner can fix this, but you also need to make SURE you have your board's chipset drivers installed from the Mobo CD.
make sense?
I am also having the same problem with my geforce2 TI. I have a compaq 7940. What should I do ?:confused:
I also notice that in my system devices that I don't even have a AGP bridge. What should I do?
try to reinstall the chipset drivers
Whoo! Thx bro, this solved the problem.Quote:

Will this solution work for me? In my system devices I see "PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge". Is this the device I change to VIA AGP bridge?
Downloaded the miniagp drivers and its so smooth. I'm so happy.
