AGP memory question?

Iridium · Sep 12, 2003, 12:33 AM

Should I be concerned this is what SiSoftware Sandra tells me about my AGP memory, I remember in the past seeing this value up around 120MB I believe. However I am still benching fine, and no problems in games really, despite the artifacts I have been having at low o'clocks.

thats probably your AGp arperture size.

1. sandra has a terrible reputation of misreading information
2. with a card with 128M of ram your arpeture size shouldn't matter, even on a 64M card it doesn't matter much.
