I just bought a inno3d 256mb 6800GT,
in the bios setup, there is this AGP arperture size thing. What settings do I place there?Same as the amount of ram on the card. For some reason some poeple say half, but with no solid reason.

How to OC the card, When I had the gf2ti, with some 34. something drivers, Nvidia did give the OC. Now I relly on my MSI fuzzy logic to OC with the mobo. Anyone know any software for it.

The fuzzy logic is good, but how good is it against Prime95?
Thanks

(me) I would say leave it alone. It has never done me any good. It is the amount of your system ram that will be used if your video card runs out of memory. With 256MB on your card, just leave it.

(me) Overclock your card using coolbits. Its a registry hack, and its nice and easy. Overclock your motherboard manually in the Bios. Anything else usually won't work and will give you a gay overclock.

(me) Overclock using your bios settings. Fuzzy logic or intelligent overclocking is too safe to really do any good.

AGP Aperture Size

Common Options : 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256

Quick Review

This BIOS feature does two things. It selects the size of the AGP aperture and it determines the size of the GART (Graphics Address Relocation Table).

The aperture is a portion of the PCI memory address range that is dedicated for use as AGP memory address space while the GART is a translation table that translates AGP memory addresses into actual memory addresses which are often fragmented. The GART allows the graphics card to see the memory region available to it as a contiguous piece of memory range.

Host cycles that hit the aperture range are forwarded to the AGP bus without need for translation. The aperture size also determines the maximum amount of system memory that can be allocated to the AGP graphics card for texture storage.

Please note that the AGP aperture is merely address space, not actual physical memory in use. Although it is very common to hear people recommending that the AGP aperture size should be half the size of system memory, that is wrong!

The requirement for AGP memory space shrinks as the graphics card's local memory increases in size. This is because the graphics card will have more local memory to dedicate to texture storage. So, if you upgrade to a graphics card with more memory, you shouldn't be "deceived" into thinking that you will need even more AGP memory! On the contrary, a smaller AGP memory space will be required.

It is recommended that you keep the AGP aperture around 64MB to 128MB in size, even if your graphics card has a lot of onboard memory. This allows flexibility in the event that you actually need extra memory for texture storage. It will also keep the GART (Graphics Address Relocation Table) within a reasonable size.
