"Adjust AGP Frequency" Setting?

[JamesN]

Hi,

Here is my system specs:
AMD64 3500+ Winchester with stock fan and heat sink
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat
BFG 6800GT OC

Under the BIOS, the current setting for "Adjust AGP Frequency" is default to 66. Is this the correct frequency for the 6800GT Video Card? Thanks!

This isn't the frequency of the card's components like the RAM or GPU, it's the speed of the AGP bus.

Best to leave it at default, increasing the AGP bus gives no real performance increase but can hamper stability and GPU/Memory overclocks.

As the others have said, leave at default. You can increase up 1 - 3 usually with stable operation but performance improvement is negligable.

Fortunately with my MB and most new, you can lock the AGP/PCI bus at default and increase the CPU FSB separatly.

I also have the same motherbaord. Word is you will have to set it at 67MHz when you overclock, or the Neo2 doesn't lock the AGP bus. So 66MHz if no overclocking, but set it to 67MHz if/when you overclock your CPU. I never tested it but instead just set mine at 67 because I daily run my 3000+ Winchester at 2.2GHz instead of stock 1.8GHz.
