SMARTGART™

SMARTGART is a suite of testing and diagnostics tools that perform a variety of bus tests to determine the optimal settings for your ATI graphics accelerator installed in your computer. SMARTGART automatically configures your graphics device to the optimal settings. SMARTGART does not actually disable any AGP functionality in your computer’s hardware. It simply instructs the ATI CATALYST driver not to use a specific AGP function if that specific AGP function hasn’t passed the SMARTGART diagnostics test.

Set AGP Settings

Experienced users can manually change the AGP speed. You will need to reboot your computer for this change to take effect. The possible AGP speed is dependent on the motherboard chipset and design. Your computer’s available AGP speeds are shown in the SMARTGART dialog.

Fast Write

Fast Write allows the CPU to transfer data directly to the graphics accelerator. By default, this feature is set to ON providing your motherboard’s chipset supports Fast Writes. Some motherboard specifications may claim chipset support for Fast Writes but may not be compatible with many different graphics accelerators. Changing the AGP settings could result in system instability.

This setting is disabled for many computers because the motherboard is not capable of supporting this feature.

Retest All

Click this button to retest all graphic bus capabilities. All tests and diagnostics are initiated immediately following a system restart.

Any settings that have previously been set to Off will be turned on, providing the test passes.

Problems can arise if the user enables a secondary graphics accelerator (in a multiple monitor environment) after the operating system has loaded. The problem exists because the secondary graphics card is enabled after the SMARTGART diagnostic test have been run. To ensure system stability you should restart the computer after the secondary graphics accelerator is enabled so that both graphics accelerators can be tested with SMARTGART.
