I doubt it. It's a pretty middle of the road card which is suitable for a lot of CPU's.

Yes it will bottleneck AGP has a big problem of bottle necking

I had to of those cards in a PCI-E and they were middle of the road as far as performance goes

AGP will be alot slower.

I don't think so. My friend has an AGP 7600GT card and it performs just as the PCI-E version does.

there is no way it performs the same the AGP slot 8X PCI-E 16X maybe the cards perform the same but you get the bottle neck because of the slower AGP bus

That's true. But most mid-range cards don't utilise the 16X PCI-E bus well, so 8X is good enough. But it's different for high end cards.
