  • How do I see my PCI/AGP bus speed?

    I have Sandra but I can't seem to find it there. Am I blind or do I need another program?

    Thanks,
    Dave

    you could try Aida32

        OK, I think I figured it out, can someone confirm.

        You take your FSB * AGP/CPU Ratio?

        I have a bus speed of 200MHz so it is 200*1/2=100MHz ? That doesn't seem right. I would think my system would lock at that?

          maybe it is 100 * 1/2? so it is running at 50MHz? hmmm....

            Since you have an A64, you don't really have a FSB, technically speaking.
            Anyway, with the Asus A8V the AGP-speed is set to one third of the "FSB".
            So if you did not oc anything you have the bus set at 200 MHz and the AGP at 200/3 = 66.67 MHz. So the AGP is running in its standard speed.
            If you oc the bus to e.g. 225 MHz (as I do), you're running the AGP at 75 MHz.

              Thanks for the good information Indiana. I have this feature in my BIOS called the AGP/PCI Frequency lock. I am tryign to test it out to see if it works. This is why I am trying to find a program that shows me the speeds. I am actually running at 215FSB currently. I have the AGP/PCI lock enabled but it doesn't work for some, so I am just trying to clarify. I think at 215, my AGP ratio is 2/1? What does that mean?

              Thanks,
              Dave

                Well, the K8V (which I have) does not have a AGP/PCI lock, but it's based on the same K8T800 chipset.
                With a bus speed of 215, your AGP should run at 71.67MHz, if the AGP-lock is turned off. If it's turned on (and correctly working), the AGP should stay at its default 66.67 MHz, regardless of the bus speed.

                  WCPUID is good for all that kind of stuff.

                      I just checked, but WCPUID does not show the AGP clock, just bus-speed (or I'm simply too blind to see it).
                      Neither does Sandra, nor AIDA32, nor Everest....

                        Yes, what Indiana said...nothing I've seen shows me the bus speeds

                          afaik you require some expensive equipment to read the PCI bus speed.
