Hi all im looking for a driver for a PCIE x16 Asus EAX300 Series card to run
a pc with Win XP Home SP2

on the card is Asus EAX300SE/T/P/128M/A

and

EAX300SE - A260C R1.01

I used the Asus home page and found a driver there at this link:

http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

I tried it but it has no options to manualy change the setting for the card
like my card on another pc "Nvidia control panel" has, the one in question
asks about needing the net framework version 2 or something to run
something.

I just need a driver that will have the ability to change things like:
anisotropic filtering
antialiasing
mipmaps
vertical sync
triple buffering
texture filtering
force mipmaps

Etc Ect........

Thanks All
GK

Asus provides 3 different classes of download support - drivers,
onscreen display utility, and smart doctor in addition to a manual.

'it' sounds like you might just have the driver.

You have a card with an ATI GPU (X300). The latest
software can be obtained from the amd.com site, as AMD
bought ATI.

The software consists of two component parts.

1) Driver
2) CCC Control Panel (which relies on .NET 2.0)

You can run a card, without the Control Panel. I'm doing
that right now. So I don't need .NET 2.0 on the computer.
Having the driver present, means I can change the
resolution, using the Microsoft Display control panel,
but that is all I can change.

The X300 SE apparently has half-width memory, compared
to the original X300.

This is an example of the AMD driver download page. This
might be the last DX9 driver they provide.

I don't know all the details, of what Asus may add to the
design. In theory, the basic card operation should work
with a driver download from AMD. But I don't know all
the possible nuances. It's software after all.

And you could also investigate this. I haven't a clue
what this would give you, in terms of settings.
