Is it normal my OS only supports 2x AGP

[AssyrianKing]

my agp settings as shown in my display properties shows my agp rate is 2x in OS whereas 8x in everything else (gpu, chipset, optimal) is this normal? am i stll getting full performance?

im running xp pro, also anyone got some tips on o/c this 6800 ultra? it seems if i go over 435 core i get freezes n some ppl have like 470 core on a gt flashed to ultra.....do i need to up the voltage? my bios lets me have a 1.5 or 1.6 voltage for agp....

The problem can not be your OS, as i am using win xp pro, with my radeon 9800 pro win full agp 8X. As for the overclocking, it is luck of the draw. Some will get a card that goes up 25% more then the regular core speed. Others will get a card that wont go up 5mhz. It is all luck of the draw.

i still dont understand so is it normal my os reports 2x agp rate in my display properties? or should it be on 8x and im losing performance? or something.

It's not normal - update your motherboard BIOS & chipset drivers. Also stop overclocking as it could be pushing the AGP out of spec which causes it to run slower.

it seems if i go over 435 core i get freezes n some ppl have like 470 core on a gt flashed to ultra....

Since whan is overclocking guaranteed? Did I miss the the introduction of that new rule?
