Speeding Up The Ui With An Nvidia Card

just a quickie. anyone that has an nvidia card and the full nvidia driver add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf.local:

options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1

it doubled the speed of the ui on my system (specs in my sig) and that's before i overclock my gfx card. You will need to have the option turned on in the motherboards bios as well tho.

try it out and see what you think

Does this also work with PCIE?

Thanks I'll give it a try.

not sure if it works with pci-e as the values are for agp based systems. you'll need to do some searching on google. but you could try it worst it will do is stop the card from starting.

ehem.. do you have AGP bus in your pci-e card?

what does this do? I have a 6800GT PCI-Express.

if you have a pci-e card forget about it. I think that's the general consensus.

pci-e is completely different bus architecture (pci-e 16x is ~twice as fast as agp bus which does not make difference readily visible). Tweaking AGP on PCI-E will not change anything because you don't have AGP so there is nothing to tweak.
