does this improve PCI-E at all?

IT WORKS!!! Yeah............:popcorn:
Thanks to tseliot for this tip. I can confirm It does work under feisty with nvidia-glx-new as long as you follow scontin's advice:
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc #and add the line
options nvidia_new NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
The magic bit being _new in the second line after nvidia!
I'm not sure of the impact on fps as it seems to differ according to how much of glxgears is showing on screen. If the graphic is running but hidden by my terminal window then fps goes up to 2828fps; but if I maximize glxgears to full screen then the underlying terminal records 192fps. As has been suggested elsewhere in this thread the real test will be when you actually play the games
But hey, the tip works and I now have Fast Write and Side Band Addressing both fully operational
Thanks
Would this improve the performance of Compiz Fusion? i.e. make it smoother?
In game, fastwrite alone jumped my 6800 GT up 200 - 250 fps. :cool:
Works for me(feisty)...more or less with these instructions...I first put options nvidia_new NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc and that didn't work...so I added options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 after the first line and that worked :) However I don't know what driver I'm using (don't remember) and I'm using a custom kernel. Still testing to see if any improvements have been made! Also...glxgears gives me fewer points with agpfast write enabled :(
Hi! Hoping this thread is still open.
I run Arch Linux. This distro doesn't have an /etc/modprobe.d directory, much less anything in it. Were would I place the options that ubuntu users place in nvidia-kernel-nkc?
Arch does have an /etc/modprobe.conf file; that would be my guess, but that's a bit if a shot-in-the-dark.
Would simply placing:
options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
there be adequate?
I haven't been able to find any reference in my installation that looks anything like:
alias char-major-195* nvidia
FWIW: Asus A8V-MX, Athlon64 XP 3500+, GeForce2 MX/400
The latter item, of course, being the main reason I'm trying to squeeze every ounce out! :)
TIA.
This file doesn't exist in 8.10 :(
Thank you for the howto. after enabling this stuff, my fps went from
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.170 FPS
301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.020 FPS
299 frames in 5.0 seconds = 59.622 FPS
to
12332 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2466.249 FPS
13163 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2632.540 FPS
13087 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2617.359 FPS
Much appreciated :D
