Bought this graphics card the other day and everest reports 132mhz core and rivetuner reports 100mhz core. This cant be right surely? It's a 4x agp card running at 2x so is that something to do with it?

It's possible that the card throttles when there is no 3D rendering taking place. I've seen that on GeForce FX cards. Or it could be a fake/rebadged card. Maybe run GPU-Z, dump the bios and check it with nibitor?

again another retro game on itch: https://90soft90.itch.io/shmup-salad

100 Mhz is RivaTuner v2.24 bug. Use v2.22.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Thanks for the responses. I too thought it might be downclocking but even in games the core speed doesn't change. I've never been able to run GPU-Z in W98. Will try 2.22. Not sure which version I have.
