Adam,

In the AG toolkit, various settings are determined for vic in the  
VideoService configuration gui. The toolkit then launches vic as if it  
were being run manually from the command line and adds whatever  
settings were selected.

If you are able to find good settings when running vic manually with  
this card, then those settings could possibly be incorporated into the  
AG toolkit's configuration gui or vic launcher.
