When I set it at AGP 8x on Asrock P4I65G (cheap board), the screen would
become a mess after a game started for more than 5 minutes. Is it
normal? Problem of the card or the board?
Re: Grandmars X1300 not working properly at AGP 8x
I've seen this problem with my previous 9800Pro + Soltek K8T800 setup. The
Soltek board didn't have AGP. In ATi's SmartGART control panel there is a
slider to adjust AGP speed. I've seen it in the Control Panel, not sure if
it's still in CCC.

Currently I locked it at 4x. But the board should support 8x...

Ugh. Obviously I wasn't typing at the same pace as my thoughts... Should be
"The Soltek board didn't have AGP speed adjustment in BIOS."

*Should*, but many boards don't work reliably at 8x in combination with many
video cards. It is not a loss, because AGP8x offers zero benefits over AGP4x
in real-world applications (i.e. not 3DMark or SPECViewperf)

Did you install the latest one on the web site, or the one that shipped on
the CD with the mobo?
