Video Card Drivers Settings...

The best thing you could possibly do to manage your video card settings is to ensure that you have the most up-to-date drivers and DirectX program. Here's where you can get those:

ATI Drivers Go Here
NVidia Drivers Go Here
Microsoft DirectX Downloads Go Here

 

The default settings on a graphics card are, by far, the best settings that 98% of the users will need. They give a fair compromise between image detail and card performance. Here's what the configuration screen for the drivers looks like:

 

This is accessed by right clicking on the Desktop and clicking on 'Properties', then the 'Settings' tab then 'Advanced'. This is also another way to confirm that the 8X AGP is, in fact, enabled.

If you happen to be installing this video card as a replacement for an older card, I suggest first running a utility like Driver Cleaner Pro. This assures you that you will be installing completely fresh drivers, and also that your card will not be using any of the old drivers.

 

Here again are my complete recommendations for building a computer with a great Video Card at a low price!
