Subject: AGP settings
After I installed coolbits2.reg I could access my AGP setting on my graphics card and the “Max AGP rate” is worrying me!!!
I have a
ASUS P4P800 latest bios
P4 3.0GHZ latest chipset
1024 RAM
480WATT PSU
PNY 6800 ULTRA 256MB(new latest bios after a lot MORE of restarts) Power cables set up as directed by NVIDIA
WINDOWS XP PRO SP2
GPU CHIPSET OS OPTIMAL
MAX AGP RATE 8X 8X 2X 8X
This is worrying me as my system restarts a little still (not a temperature/ventilation problem) and when its stable eg play DOOM 3 my fps are slow in bench test I need this solved.
I have searched the internet and no one actually has a way of solving please help!!!!
Many Thanks
Mike Gleed

Dear Michael,
Those settings look normal, when your in the Windows desktop the card drops back to AGP 2x, simply no need for it to run faster.

So what your saying is when you run an 3d application i.e. Doom3 the AGP setting goes up to 8x?
Cause on my desktop here at work its saying 4x on the desktop?
Dear Michael,
Exactly so, Windows default setting for the desktop would be 2x but as this is a high spec card it may not drop down that low so it goes at 4x.

You miss understand my home computer with the 6800 ultra is 2x in OS
But this computer with the rubbish Geforce 2 in says 4x in OS.
