CPCBlingBling · 10th Jan 2005, 02:29 PM

hey guys im a n00b at bios ill admit...i just got a new geforce 5700 le 256 mb graphics card and my bro is making me learn bio to make it work......bcuz my brother had it running at 130 fps on counterstrike source when i played

.....but the comp got unstable and my dad called my bro for help and it had to be set back at defalt.

Well i was putting the settings back but i can only get it to 72 fps.

I looked at the insturictions and it said to enable "Assign IRQ to VGA". i was told that that ooption is under PCI/VGA Pallete Snoop......the option "Assign IRQ to VGA" is not found......can i get some help....do i need to update my bios?...if so.....how?

thx in advance

motherboard model please?

different mobo has different bios setting and options. Sometimes some manufacture will take some feature out or block it from user to use. Also, diff bios maker will have options under diff place. Try to explore the bios options to see if you can find it, if not then i think your mobo does not allow you to do such thing.

Let us know your mobo, maybe it can help us to find the bios that's used.

Assign IRQ to VGA should always be enabled and has nothing in common with PCI VGA palette snoop option which is only needed when you have a TV capture card.

PS, did some reading, it says that it's under "Advanced"--> "PCI configuration"

yah i looked where u said and the option isn''t there.....i also looked at teh manual and it does show it etheir..........ill try and update i guess....

SAMSAMHA · 12th Jan 2005, 05:05 AM

yeah, see if there's update of the bios, maybe that will help. BTW, is your computer mobo from big company retailer (ie dell, gateway, etc), sometimes these company will ask mobo maker to take away some feature off their bios.
