+---- Thread: Nvidia switch itself to PCI Mode from AGP (/showthread.php?tid=132613)
Nvidia switch itself to PCI Mode from AGP - Titan* - 08-14-2015
This happened 2 weeks ago, Most of the games are lagging (even freelancer) I don't know how to switch back to AGP Mode. I was looking for the fix but haven't found anything yet.
I have Nvidia GTX 550 T.I
Windows 10

I've heard there is a lot of problems with Graphic Cards after W10 was installed, because the software is not compatibile with newest OS. It is pretty bad information for those who have the lastest drivers before 2012.

Read before you sent that link. its only for XP/2000 and 98/ME
I said I have Windows 10 and its different from XP and others.
Already updated my motherboard chipset driver.

Snoopy is right, you should have read the article twice. Go to your BIOS and switch it from PCI to AGP or whatever you wanna do there
You can get into BIOS easily by restarting your computer, once you see the first picture while booting press ( DEL or F2 or F8 or F10 ) a couple of times until you reach a blue screen ( on the older computers, unless you have uefi running ) don't play around there only switch from pci to agp ok

And the OS doesn't matter in order to get into BIOS/UEFI as bios is running already before the OS does so just do what I've mentioned above and it should be fine
edit; windows 10 looks like crap, msconfig keeps crashing and the new gui looks sooo bad I miss my win8 start menu

Also there's something i remember about memory management in the bios, to use maximum, was couple years ago on my other comp, helped me when i tried to get BF3 working right, as i had major stuttering in game, when i did that it worked perfect
using windows 7
does this ring a bell with anyone?
RE: Nvidia switch itself to PCI Mode from AGP - Rebirth - 08-15-2015
often the OS reserves some of the RAM space for itself. E.G: you have 2x 2 GB RAM installed, so 2 + 2 = 4, right? Wrong. It will make kinda 3,6 ~ or 3,5 GB of usable space the rest is reserved for the hardware ( in order to save logs when the system crashes, page disk or whatever )
Here is a link that might help: http://www.sevenforums.com/hardware-devices/60728-solution-missing-memory-ram.html
also some more information about your system would be useful ( windows version X , 64/86x bit, RAM information ( are they set in dual mode, bios config picture, frequency run and actual frequence * etc. .. )
* You can find the currenty Frequence and the amount of usable ram in the Task Manager -> (Second tab depending on your os from left) There it shows after hitting "RAM" on the right bottom corner stuff like "Speed : 1333 MHz" "Using ..." etc
edit; just seeing mine run on 1333 instead of 2400 lol asrock truly sucks
