My 9800 pro

Ok, so ive installed those in order, and now my AGP texture accerleration is "enabled". My farcry FPS have jumped to about 27-40 outside during heavy combat with all settings at very high (1280x1024) and texture detail at medium. Is that about where they should be, because it looks much better...

My 9800 pro

Under dxdiag, my system says that "AGP texture acceleration: not availible" which means i need to install the above drivers, however, i am unaware of what "DX" and "gpu" drivers are...but i think DX means directx and gpu means catalyst 4.7?

My 9800 pro

AA and AF are turned as low as possible. Also, i just tried farcry at 1280x1024 at all very high/high, and when i looked anywhere other than straight down or up, my fps would drop to 1, and pretty much freeze... wierd!

My 9800 pro

Ya, ive looked, but i cant find any other drivers than those that came with my mobo. The MSI site has my mobo set as not being a k8t800 chipset, which is crap, so the msi site is screwy as far as drivers go. Know any other places where i can find these drivers? Thanks.
