Aperture size and RivaTuner

[Mr. Switch]

I have a USB keyboard, so I can't go into my BIOS and change my aperture size. is it possible to change it in RivaTuner? and if it is, how do i get to the point of changing it?

My usb keyboard lets me go into the bios. You could try a USB -> PS2 adapter to get it to work. Also, you should have your Aperture size at 128mb if it's lower or higher change it. I cannot tell you where it is in Riva Tuner due to having an ATI card. Hope someone can tell you that.

USB-to-PS/2 adapters won't help me out either, i already tried it.

For the 6600GT you want 128MB, and I have no idea how to do that in RIVA, I use my BIOS.

 

[Mr. Switch]

what your aperture set at, CS? i've heard that the lower the aperture the quicker the fps, because it forces somethign to use the video card's memory, but don't i want it at the highest it can go?

Well I know 128 cards can go to 256 but it is not recommended. I have mine at 128.

Now if 64/128 makes any difference I am not sure, but that is what I have it set at.

 

[Mr. Switch]

have you tried any other settings?

 

[Counter-Strike]

No, but tomorrow I will do a little test and see if 64/128 has any difference, because I am getting tired -_-

You have a 128 card and you are running your aperature at 128? LOL. That is a bad idea dude.

I have a 64mb card and I'm running with a 64mb aperature...

What exactly DOES the aperature do?
