The high-quality display of graphics and the speed of texture update when the camera approaches an object (for example, in a game) often depends on whether AGP texture acceleration is enabled. You can enable texture acceleration if the problems are not related to the built-in video card, the "freshness" of the drivers, or, in principle, the absence of DirectX, in a few seconds.
Instructions
Step 1
From the "Start" menu panel, call the "Run" command by clicking on the corresponding line with the left mouse button. In the dialog box, enter the dxdiag command in the field without spaces or quotes. Click OK to use the Microsoft DirectX Diagnostic Tool to collect component data and troubleshoot problems.
Step 2
Wait for data collection to complete and go to the Display tab. If there are several monitors connected to the computer, select from the tabs the one you need ("Display 1" and "Display 2", respectively).
Step 3
In the "DirectX Capabilities" section, located in the central part of the window, select the "AGP Texture Acceleration" line. If acceleration is disabled, the “Unavailable” mark will melt to the right of the label, and the “Enable” button is located to the right. Click on it with the left mouse button.
Step 4
In the window that appears, notifying that the use of the AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) port will be enabled for all system devices that support it, confirm the inclusion of textures by clicking the "OK" button with the left mouse button.
Step 5
Close the DirectX Diagnostic Tool window by left-clicking on the "Exit" button or by clicking on the "X" icon in the upper right corner of the window.
Step 6
At the same time, make sure that you have all the acceleration options turned on. To do this, right-click on any free part of the desktop and open the "Properties: Display" window by clicking on the "Properties" line in the drop-down menu with any mouse button. Go to the "Options" tab and click on the "Advanced" button.
Step 7
The "Properties: Monitor Connector Module and" window opens. Go to the "Diagnostics" tab in this window and set the "slider" in the "Hardware acceleration" section to the maximum (that is, all the way to the right). Click the "Apply" button, close the windows.
