I remember the Articia-S controller. Rated to be AGP 2x in speed and marketed as such. In real tests (that was conducted by various community members many, many years ago) it turned out that the real-life data bandwidth was about AGP 0.5x in practice, due to a buggy/unfinished design (they were only made for development boards, like the Terons, that someone resold as AmigaOne's.) It's not always about "settings" to get something right, some times a design can just have been released too early, too underdeveloped, too untested, and wasn't really meant for end-user markets anyway.
