I've been tempted to buy an AIW Radeon to try a little video editting. I am concerned as to how the card will react to the 95-110MHz AGP bus speeds that I run with my 700e. What are you guys running your Radeon's at????

ATi's are notoriously bad FSB overclockers...
I haven't seen too many handle high FSB speeds...
Even the older Rage128 core didn't do well, 133FSB was
achievable if you were lucky...

by the 2 people who have radeons that responded, I think
AGP bus speeds of 100Mhz would be out of the question...

Better get a i815e to O/C with the Radeon...

Mine posted at 112 fsb but eventually froze 30 min into it...I thought it was the pc133 ram running at 149mhz. But I guess the ram would of not booted or posted...so the freez in windows was probably due to the agp which I belive is running around 72mhz...1/3fsb x2 for agp? 110/3 x 2=73mhz at 4x agp for 292mhz?

I had mine at 91mhz without even knowing it for a couple of hours.
No problems whatsoever, didn't even run hotter :)

Some of you guys are mixing up FSB and AGP speeds. AGP = either FSB x 1, FSB x .667 or FSB X .5 depending on the setting. Usually people are asking about a cards capability to run high AGP speeds when they are running a BX setup @ 133 FSB or higher. The BX cant do FSB x .5, so a 133 FSB = 89 AGP on that card.

I am running a 150 FSB on my KT7A RAID and my AGP speed is 100mhz..the Radeon is rock stable. The funny thing is my Elsa Gladiac would not be stable at this speed..even with AGP 2x and no performance settings.

<< ATi's are notoriously bad FSB overclockers... >>


The Radeon works exceptionally well at AGP speeds of 100 and higher. Figured you wouldn't want
to spread misinformation so I chimed in. ;)
