AGP Apeture Size what's it supposed to be on?

[Jsongz]

Is it supposed to be on what size your Video Card is i.e My 5900NU is 128mb. So should my apeture size be on 128mb. Right now its on 64mb. Just making sure

Some people will tell you to set it as low as you can, others will tell you whatever side your video card onboard memory is.

Personally, I have mine set to 128MB and don't worry about it. I've had mine set to 32MB and didn't notice any performance difference.

From motherboard manuals I've read, it says to put it at 2x your system memory size.

I've heard to have it on the highest setting, unless you start getting texture corruption.

64MB or 128MB is fine. Personally I've been using 128MB for several years now.

The Rojak Pot also agrees

it should be set the same as your vid card ram or higher.

i use a 256mb APP on my 128mb card.
"real" gaming benchmarks showed a noticable improvment in all my gaming benchmarks.

*NOTE: if using a higher then memory AGP APP (like me using 256mb) is good for you, you need a 256mb card.

That would be virtual memory, not AGP Apeture

I would put it at 128 or 256

64 or 128 and you are ok.

Yep!...I also personally perfer 128mb.

Depends. Certain games like it set as low as you can(GTA3/VC- it actually can slow the game down considerably if not) while others do better with it up higher, and a lot don't care at all.

I leave mine at 128, I figure its a good middle ground.

64 MB or 128 MB.

No. I wouldn't get those 2 confused. And actually, you set virt mem to 1.5 your system ram size (IF you HAVE to manually change it at all).

I just looked it up in the manual for my motherboard and it suggests putting agp aperture size at 1/2 your system memory size.

Long story short: put it at 64, 128 or 256 and forget about it.
