Just Curious...

I know as a general rule it's not a bad idea to switch your BIOS settings from 8x AGP to 4x as it can on occassion allow higher overclocks and certainly won't affect performance... However, I recently (today) went from a 9800Pro 128MB to a 256 6800GT (eVGA) and I'm curious if (given the default 1000MHz RAM speeds) it is a better idea to run this card at 8x or will 4x allow the same performance? The reason I ask is that I thought I had seen something somewhere which stated that 4x was limited somewhere around 1000MHz and I plan to overclock someday soon here... Thanks!

I have NEVER EVER heard of this before. I don't think a lower AGP rate will make you OC any more...

Yea, i really do not think lowering the AGP rate will allow higher O/C

AGP speed should have no effect on card settings, like core and memory clocks, as the card's clocks aren't dependent on the MB and the AGP. I guess it's possible the AGP speed could affect (or be affected by) FSB OCs, but that's a CPU, not GPU, issue.

Maybe you read that raising your AGP voltage will help O/C
