8x AGP 9500pro

[wayne882000]

I notice that the performance comparison tests for the video cards and the review for the ati 9500 pro are using motherboards with 4x AGP even thought the 9500 pro can support 8x. If 8x AGP was used, would the test results be significantly different?

Not at all, at least not using existing benchmark tests, as they don't even use the full bandwidth capacity of 4x AGP.

according to THG comparasion below http://www6.tomshardware.com/graphic/20021218/vgacharts-05.html

we can note a 10% bechmark increase from gef4mx440-4X to gef4mx440-8X it may happens to ATI-9500pro too

No dufus, if you read the whole thing you'll notice the reason the "8x" version scores higher is that it comes with faster memory. In fact testing the "8x" cards at both 4x and 8x proves there is no gain.

I personally tested 8X Vs. 4X for an entire night (on P4S8X) and I found absolutely NO improvement (well maybe <1% in some cases). I ran every 3D test I could think of and no dice.
