AGP Driving control/value

Post by YARDofSTUF »

Ok in my KT7a bios it has an option to set agp driving control to auto or manual, with manual i can change teh driving value, it says the minimumis 00 and the max is ff and default is da, will changing this to ff give more speed, or better performance?

I don't really know.
I have a Radeon 64mb I'm running CC on those settings (Asus-A7M266) Did you add the [v-cache] settings? That helped me out alot.

Check out some of the post on this boardhere

Careful with the drive settings!! It can seriously damage your card!!

I was reading a post on this on a diff forum.. I'll see if I can find it again. It'll have to be tomorrow cause I'm tired right now. Just leave it at default for now.

the agp driving control is the amount of power is supplied to your video card. I wouldnt touch it if you dont know what you're doing because you can pretty easily fry your board. So, what use could this give you? Well, if you overclock a retail radeon past 200mhz; then you might want to push the voltage supplied to the card a little bit. I read once that overclocking is an art form. I'm not artist, but this is something you have to be extra careful of.
