Can anybody tell me what are the normal speeds of AGP 2X video cards? I have Rage Fury 32MB - I installed PowerStrip and it told me my card is running at 90MHz is that normal for AGP 2X card?

Also am I right in asuming that AGP BUS speed is FSB /2 for FSB 133 and higher. If I'm running my CPU at FSB 160 than AGP BUS would have been 80MHz so how can my card run at 90MHz?

Also when I go back to default FSB 133 then my AGP BUS would be around 66.5 yet my video card clock speed is still reported at 90MHz by PowerStrip. :( I am CONFUSED

Please HELP me understand this...

Your confusing the speed that your Graphic card runs at with the speed of the port, they are not the same

The speed of your card is the GPU speed, the AGP port speed runs at a ratio of your FSB speed (1/4, 1/3 etc)
