Ive searched around some and couldnt find anything on if the 8x agp will make a big difference over 4x agp. Im building a new system and dont want to go through the hastle of getting an agp 8 board unless there is a large difference. Thx ahead of time :)


If you guys know of any webpages that have anything on this plz post them!

There was tests running with the newer AGP 8X mobos and it did absolutely nothing to help perf. Basically just a marketing gimmick :tongue: .

If u want to buy a new 128MB card like R300 or even 256MB card like NV30, AGP 8x will do nothing for the performance of foreseeable games.

But if u want to buy a 64MB card and play new game like DOOM3, AGP 8x does have an important help.
