There is something about Ati drivers that cause this to happen. Me and my friend have both experienced this problem (with 9800pro's) of not being able to run AGP 8x or fast write, and it usually happens after some kind of format or flash of the mobo bios. I am fairly certain it is the ATI drivers becuase I have an Intel based system and my friend has an AMD system with completely different parts except the 9800pro's.
To be honest I have no idea how I fixed it. I think I tried a veriety of driver packs from Ati and that didn't work apparently and I gave up. However after one of the reboots it randomly went back to 8x. This has happened to me at least 2 times and it eventually rights itself.
