bob80 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Hi guys I have an Ati Radeon XL PCI 8MB on my p4's motherboard and I want to run Aquamark. I've installed the latest driver and next i've installed the benchmark. The vga can run the test but after 30-35 minutes the benchmark stops. Have you some suggestions ?? I've seen results with ati rage so i think that is possible complete the benchmark. Do you know how can I set the affinity on XP ?? and can you suggest me some tricks for improve my scores ?? THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 To set the affinity, just oepen task manager and clic right on the process. For the card itself, you have to test different drivers, some will work and some not. And sometimes it will not work under windows XP but will work with Windows 98 and again not all drivers will work with 98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Ney Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hum, don't know if you can disable HT within Windows, can you disable it from the BIOS ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted April 2, 2011 Crew Share Posted April 2, 2011 i think you only can disable HT in bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
