neovo Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Now i am using 9550. I have problem with mouse tearing. Its really annoying. And i want to upgrade to X1600. I am using agp slot. My question is.. will this radeon 1600pro agp work well with my nforce3 250gb? How about the performance? Will it run fast? Seems after using boris patch, 1600pro agp will be detected as pci bus, NOT agp bus. There is a way to activate QE/CI with using agp bus? From my experience, AGP card with using pci bus will make the performance slower (based on xbench comparison). Sorry if i have a lot of questions. Because i am still new with osx86. And i really really want a system that can works perfectly. I love mac. So please help me. Thanks.

neovo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 What do u mean by real bad performance? How about GUI performance? Also 3D games peformance? Based on xbench result? What is the score? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28971-radeon-1600pro-agp-performance/#findComment-198875 Share on other sites More sharing options...

neovo Posted September 30, 2006 Author Share Posted September 30, 2006 So basically the performance is bad on 3d mode only? How about 2d? I mean gui speed. Is it affected?
