Geforce 6200 AGP or Geforce 8400gs PCI?

[werewolf16]

I have a old motherboard that only supports AGP and PCI. Which video card should I get? Is it becuase it is a PIC card, it will be slower than an agp even though the PCI has better GPU?

PCI or PCI-E? If it is PCI-E, then definitely.

AGP is better than PCI.

Well, the places I checked said the 8400GS is a PCI-E card, so it would probably be better.

His motherboard only has AGP and PCI.......So obviously PCI Express will not work.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133245 8400gs PCI.

AGP has greated bandwidth than PCI so an AGP card is better. You can get a HD4670 or 4650 AGP although they are more expensive than PCI Express.

Between 6200 AGP or 8400GS PCI I would go for the newer card. The 6200 is really bad and the 8400 PCI will probably be faster even though its on a slower bus.

NOT PCI-E, its PCI.

get a xfx/sapphire 4650 igb ddr2 agp , you'll be pleased . it is light years ahead of both .
