[QUOTE="nic4games"][QUOTE="roulettethedog"][QUOTE="LordEC911"] [QUOTE="roulettethedog"]You are trying to tell me that the 8800gtx is not much better then any AGP card.:roll: What cards were compared ,at what resolution, and what games were these cards tested on? Your like is a dead one like your argument.:lol:roulettethedog
We are talking about no card needing more then the 8x bandwidth that AGP has to offer.
Going from a PCI-e 16x card/slot to the same card with an AGP card/slot the performance is very similar. No card needs the 16x that PCI-e has to offer, as demonstrated by the benchmarks of 8800GTX running on an SLI 8x board and then on a SLI 16x board.
I know that I over dramatised it,but the simple fact is that newer games require faster C.P.U.'s and almost all the mobo's out now are pci-express, so the original posters argument is irrelevant. Having a Core2 or X2 C.P.U. for a minimum requirement is not that far off.
then why some manufacturers still manufacture AGP cards? Like geforce 7950 AGP
if you said that PCIe already outfaced AGP then why some manufacturers still manufacture it? It means that AGP is still alive and can be used still. And i think, AGP will only be outface if the manufacturers themselves will stop making AGP cards. Am i correct?
As long as there is a market for AGP cards, companies will make AGP. The AGP market will die off once new games requirements for C.P.U.'s are higher then the old AGP mobo's can handle. Heck there is still a pci video card market.:D
AGP cards will still survive ten years or so...
