Just wanted to know the max AGP frequency anybody has used on one of these cards. I am trying to do alot of figuring before I begin building, I hate doing things 5 or more times.:mad:

That's a pretty expensive card if you're not into high end graphics work. So, responses in this thread will be somewhat limited. It's a pretty decent card from what I've seen of it. HOWEVER, it is not a gaming card, and will perform poorly in this area. It's really meant for 3D graphics workstations, where the CPU/ CPU's do all the real work and the card just displays the GUI really well, and fast. Other than being used in a graphics workstation, it has no other real use. This pretty much applies to all the O2 cards. the Wildcat cards aren't too bad gaming wise, but yet again, not what they were made for.

I installed a GVX-R-PRO I believe it was called, the middle-of-the-road version, in a freinds box. Damn thing cost like $400- he's not about to OC it and possibly destroy it. I would, but this is what I do:D

It's really high quality, so I wouldn't be surprised if it could handle a high AGP speed. Then again, most folks who have a card like this are professionals who can't afford to chance a flaky overclocked system, so Oxygen might not have even tried to make it high-AGP bus happy.

Dude- only one way to find out, start cranking the bus speed and see what happens!:)

I was just wondering what everybody thought about the card, I found one for $125.00 so I figured it was worth a try, if she blow's oh well.

$125 sounds like a great deal considering the regular price of this card. I'd go for it and see what it can do.
