I just bought a 6600 GT. It is an MSI 6600 GT AGP specifically. For seom reason, the driver disk was corrupted and I was forced to download a unified driver from nvidia. Well, in the value added utlities packaged with the card is an application called 3D Turbo Experience which a vid card overclocking interface. To make a long story short, it doesn't work at all. I am assuming because I'm not running the MSI drivers is why it can't hook up with the card. I get no support replies from MSI. I'll never buy one of there products again simply for that reason. Anyway, I have determined to clock this 6600 up a little and I need instruction on how to do it through bios menu. system specs below, thanks guys.

AMD 2800xp on gigabyte vt600l k7 triton overclocked @ 2.3 ghz, 768 PC 3200, 128 DDR 6600GT AGP, 60 gig,5200 rpm maxtor, 160gig 7200rpm WD, Sony FD Trinitron 19

You can get drivers from the MSI website if I remember correctly.

I just looked though and they only have drivers for the PCI express version of your card. All there AGP 6000 series cards are using the 61.77 drivers still. Here is the link to the 6800GT AGP MSI driver page.

Also you prolly dont need drivers from MSI to OC. If you get something like RivaTuner you should be set 8)

Oh to overclock you dont even need RivaTuner.

Do a search for the 'Coolbits' registry tweak. It will add overclocking functionality to your normal graphics card settings Grin

Coolbits is OK. Easy to use, and easy to undo changes. I just installed it today. I found the "autodetect" setting was a good starting point although I had to slide it back a bit after some freaky problems with Ground Control 2. Vast improvement in IL2/Pacific Fighters (seeing @ 32-40 fps according to fraps), but still not there with FS9. Generally hitting my target rate of 24fps, but any dense scenery drops it to 7-11 fps. I don't want to go much lower with my FS settings... I wonder if I'm wasting my time trying this with what I've got (Epox KT600 mobo w/Athlon XP 1.25GHz; 512 RAM; eVGA nVidia 5700LE -256MB). Maybe more RAM?

Unfortuately, it only works on nvidia cards.

I'll try it on my 6800 ultra once i buy a mobo for it.

I'll try this now that i have an nvidia card, but I'm not sure it'll work on my setup.
