nVdia's AGPGART or Kernel 2.6.11.1 AGPGART

slackermike · 06-09-2005, 11:27 AM

Hey guys,

Has anyone noticed a performance increase by using nVidia's agpgart over the version in kernel 2.6.11.1 or any other 2.6 kernel?

I'm curently using this

Slackware-current
kernel-2.6.11.11 w/ agpgart as a module
nvidia driver for video card

In the nvidia driver installation manual it states that you can use either.

I have no noticeable problems but was wondering if I stood to gain anything by using nvidia's agpgart exclusively.

That depend on your card model and your agp chipset for sure

This is my card:

VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev b2)

And my chipset:

PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82850 850 (Tehama) Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 02)

I don't know, I have not this hardware

I use Linux agpgart with nvidia-agp modules for agp
