just want to know how one turns off the agp fast write option with 6800gt. I know you can do it with ATI in their control panels. I can't seem to find that option in nvidia's control panels.

Thanks.

You can use coolbits2 or download Rivatuner from Guru3d

Check your motherboards bios for a setting, alot of them have it.

You getting instabilitiy with your card?

turning fast write off in the BIOS is easiest. I turned fast writes off with my PNY and I get much smoother game play in Far Cry and 3dmark03 doesn't skip anymore. Also I can OC highier with out skipping with fast writes disabled.

Weird :confused: I have zero problems with fastwrites on and you can't hope to play WMV HD 1080p in MP9 content without it. No BFD, I'm just sayin' man, I'm just sayin' :p

i'm not having any problems at all. I'm running my gt at 423/1.14GHz OC with stock cooling. Doom3 looks great and I get 12300 on 3dmark03. Very satisfied. But I make the habit of always turning fast write off b/c i have stability issues in the past with previous cards. I just think it's a safer bet to turn off fast write. It's more trouble than it's worth.

By the way, I see no option in my bios to turn off or on agp fast write. I have an Asus p4c800-e deluxe. Does that mean it's off by default?
