I just got the sapphire radeon 9200SE 128mb video card, I thought that since it was agpX8 that it would be better then my current sapphire radeon 9100 128mb video card. the 9200 shows up in display properties as agpX8 but the 9100 that area is greyed out, and it says off, I never paid much attention to it and had just thought that it was X4, whats the deal here? I ran 3dmark2001 on the new card and it scored over a 1000 points lower, I didnt have fast write enabled and other settings were set for quality, I will run the test again after changing settings for best score, but I still dont think that it will score as high as the 9100. Is the 9100 just clocked higher/faster???
Another thing, the 9200SE compleated the test way faster even though it scored lower. Anyway, could someone please shed some light for me.
