AGP Aperture size?

AGP Aperture size?

First of all, AGP Aperture memory will not be used until your video card's on-board memory is running low. That means it will usually not impact your gaming performance because developers are trying hard to not exceed the on-board memory limits.
The bigger your video memory, the smaller your Aperture Size could be. However with later games requiring more and more texture memory a good number seems to be 128MB Aperture Size for all cards with 64 MB to 256 MB Video RAM.
Setting the Aperture Size to HUGE values will not increase performance because this merely sets the maximum amount of physical memory that can be used. It only makes the GART Table bigger because every 4K page has its own entry, no matter if allocated or not.
Setting the Aperture Size to too small values could result in running out of available texture memory especially on a low-mem video card. It is also possible that developers make use of the GART's features by creating textures as 'non-local'.

I think this case is the cause of all your problems..... anyway job well done. 7/10

one question: how did you fit that asus mobo fan on the gfx card? is it scrued od, glued on or maybe a double sided sticker tape?
only asking cause I like the idea!
I am considering it for my 8800 gtx....

haha yeah, mum got thefan from a friend, they usually come with the new asus mobos with the heatpipes, Nah it aint screwed on but it has lil clips on it so its secure and wont come off less i unclip it i was actually really surprised onhow much of a snug fit it was, runs about 3000rpm silent and keeps the graphics card down a few degrees.

ummmm... that is where the hot air exhausts from the GT..

yeah, i know... I have 2 asus mobos and 3 of these fans...but I only use 1 on the max formula...

so I was thinking about fitting one on my gtx but I probably have to mod the cover because it is wider than the gt....

anyway, nice work, again and you had a good idea about that fan...you put it to good use!

btw check my rigs...

W/e it still keeps it down a few degrees so soemthing must be right

AGP Aperture

AGP Aperture ?

Not sure why AGP Aperture is relevant with a PCI-E graphics card.

Lol AGP Aperture doesnt mean that its AGP only, just means that whent he graphics cards has less than 512mb Memory onboard, Ram can be allocate as A substute
