Hi to all,[8D]
I have Gigabyte motherboard and voodoo 5 5500 agp, I want to know if 2x enabled AGP rate (by default) of motherboard can reduce graphic card capacities ?
I have verify the AGP rate of Motherboard in 3DMark2001 se in and it' specified that : 1x, 2x, 4x (2x enabled).
Thenks for any precision ;)

Hi in3d,

your motherboard scans the AGP bus and sets the AGP speed at the maximum value supported by video card. Being 3dfx Voodoo5 a AGP 2x card, it, working at 2x, gives its best performance.

Bye bye.
