AGP clock speed limits?

[zck250]

Is it possible to run a GF4 ti4600 at 99mhz agp clock speed? My Radeon 8500 seems to max out at about 78mhz.

Maybe! :)

I guarantee not all Gf4s will make it that high, but some will. Once you get so far outside of spec, it really becomes a crap shoot- you won't know if your card will make it that high until you try it! :D

I wish my R8500 could make it that high! Is there any way to add more dividers to bios or some sort of trick to allow lower agp speeds?

*Oops i mean higher agp speed:o

No, it's time for a different motherboard that has additional dividors or you can lock the speed on.

Correct me if I am wrong but I was under the impression that the 8500's in general handled higher FSB speeds then the GF4 cards?

all of what i have seen supports that idea tracert

My card must be crap then. I took out all my pci cards to test what was wrong, and whenever i went over 153fsb (agp about 77mhz) 3dmark 2001 would just crash to the desktop. Also, prime95 would stop due to errors. My temps never got over 42*C under full load at 153fsb so im assuming they wouldnt get much higher with only a couple more mhz.

Since your getting errors with Prime95 then my guess is your CPU is the limiting factor, not the Video Card.

SBeaver,

huh? I don't recognize that language.

99mhz, isnt that a 50% overclock? Lets add it to the list of my dreams :D
