Most of the following tabs are actually hidden at default, you can enable it by downloading the Hidden Features patch from our Detonator driver file section. As you can see you can check and change AGP settings in here.
As you can see there are two tabs if you want to overclock. Leave 2D alone, 3D is what you care about for gaming performance. Also, do you see that Auto Detect feature ? The card will actually detect the fastest possible overclock for you ! That's tweaking made easy. ATI can learn something from that. Some of their latest graphics cards are actually overclocking protected and thus locked at BIOS low-level which is such a shame.
Clock settings in 2D mode. Like I said, leave them alone.
This handy tab will allow you to make changes in Fast Writes, SBA and AGP speeds. handy when you experience stability issues. We had none, so everything is on.
Now this is handy, the graphics card is monitored realtime for it's temperature this is in idle. When you try to toast the graphics card to the max the temperature will rise towards about 60-65 Degrees C which is not bad at all.
