| Colonel Calamity  | Re: 4X - 8X agp With CS:S or older games and standard windows usage, there should not be any noticeable difference. Since the AGP8x is essentially double the bandwidth of AGP4x. AGP was barely being flooded by the games at that time anyways, it is not until these newer games like Oblivion that really start to use more of that bandwidth and even then you could still be using the card at PCIe 8x and get the same performance.  Thanks HL and Corsair! My opinions are my own and not representative of this site or its members.  |

| Silence..Or I kill you! | Re: 4X - 8X agp Here is kind of a funny thing to note, Windows runs AGP at 4x even with an 8x board and video card!!! So in reality, does your 8x card really run 8x????? I have always wondered that. Granted, if you test the card in a 3D setting, it will tell you that it is running in 8x AGP, but it will also tell you that it is running in 8x in Windows as well!!! But if you check, Windows will report that the 8x card is in fact running at 4x the 66mhz cycle! |
