Another 6800GT question?

I know these card are power hungry, but what AGP bios volts are we suppose to be running or what's the best for these power humgry monsters?

BWX will become famous soon enough
System Specs

Just leave it at default. You don't need to up the AGP voltage normally.

the bfg reads .A minimum 300W system power supply2.An AGP 2.0 (or higher) compliant motherboard. Some motherboards violate the AGP specification and therefore this card may not physically fit in some systems. 3.An available hard disk drive power dongle (smaller floppy disk drive connector is not sufficient). yeah so just like bwx said if you have a agp 2.0 port it should configure itself

Great, thanks guys! Some peps were telling me to up the volts and it will perform better cause the 6800's are power hungry. I had a slight studder problem only in UT2K4 but it's not constant. All my other games fly. Great card!

if you are getting a studder you may need to do a simple disk cleanup and defragg

AGP 2.0 is 4X bus speed.
AGP 3.0 is 8X bus speed.
