Thanks for useful info. I've read about "AGP Express", but haven't read about 845GV.

So reporting "forcing AGP to PCI mode" would be correct. Its not actually a AGP slot, its a PCI slot that looks like an AGP slot.
Yes, I know.

Splinter cell might be running from the video RAM and only needs to put new stuff into video RAM when changing stages, etc..
And works faster that glxgears? :) I can't believe.

I've downloaded GPU-Z for Windows (attachment). Yes, assuming my current knowledge about 845GV and "AGP Express", looks like under Windows all works as it should. But not under linux :(

By the way, in my lspci's output for Radeon I've found
Quote:

latency 32
. Is it OK?

UPD

I've manually set it's latency to 0, but nothing changed.

I dont get what you are trying to say here.

GLXgears in not a benchmark anyway.

Your GPU-Z sceenie shows that you are using PCI mode with windows as well (Bus Interface AGP 2x @ PCI).

Latency 32 is fine AFAIK.

I mean, even if that game is using some optimization, I can't believe that that is the only reason why it works faster than simple 3d-test (or what glxgears is). I hope, now you understand me.

Yes, I've understood GPU-Z output before posting :) That was just a proof of your post about lack of AGP 4x at 845GV chipset, and about "AGP Express" meaning.
I've tried to manually set
Code:

        Option "BusType" "PCI"
        Option "AGPMode" "2" # I thought, may be, Xorg is trying to work at 4x speed and fails

in xorg.conf, but, as always, no results.

Yeah, now I've got it, thanks.
