someone must know this come on......,

AGP voltage in the bios does not work the same on a video card as it does a cpu. Change "AGP Voltage" back to the bios default right away. You could shorten the life of your card and mobo. Just a few cards need a slight bump in AGP voltage to increase stability. It will not increase your overclock, and will probably lower it.

What you're looking for is to flash the vga bios to a higher voltage (i think stock is 1.3volts). Type "6800 bios flash" into the search and see what you find.

some dude sais this is it right????

yes thats right.
Well sort of.
I have heard having it up ot high can kill video cards but I have never actually heard someone say their card acctually died from it.
It definatly doesn't help you OC though. It is simply the voltage signal through the AGP slot not the voltage your GPU will get.
