Is This a Problem?

[cyclist110]

Is this an issue? I just ran 3dMark2001se and got a score of just over 9590. This is lower than the last time I ran it, about 9750. So I checked System Info in 3dmark, it says:
Total Local Video Memory: 128 MB
Total Local Texture Memory: 128 MB
Total AGP Memory: 55 MB
Why does it say total AGP 55MB?

The card has 128MB and the BIOS is set for 256MB.
Do i have a problem? Everything runs fine.
System is oc'd to 2.1 and the video card is oc'd to 280 core and 230(460) memory.

I don't know what the AGP Memory is alluding to, but I will say that if I run a 3DMark test after a fresh boot, I will get a higher score than any subsequent test run.

According to http://www.neeyik.info/3dmark_agp.htm, AGP memory is the same as AGP aperture. Try resetting the value in your bios, but be aware that the first test you run may be higher solely because of the system is freshly booted.

The AGP Aperture setting in the motherboard BIOS sets the cap as to how much system memory can be devoted to the Aperture - whether your system actually uses all this memory is another matter outright. However, the setting does need to be over a certain size (typically around 12MB) otherwise the Aperture is not set up correctly and you'll lose this function. My motherboard permits 7 settings: 4MB to 256MB.

Try to reinstall motherboard chipset drivers, especially the one for AGP. Then reinstall the videocard drivers.
