Hello!

This is where I need to be, to hell with that newer video card slot. I have used AGP since ATI Rage Pro 128 back in 1998. Then I replaced it with a Voodoo 4 with my P3 933 in High School. Expensive stuff!! Then I bought a P4 system on a Geforce FX 5200 256. I have upgraded all except my faithful 3.0E socket 478 processor. I will eventually buy myself a system with PCI Express but I am too busy fixing all the bugs those newer video cards have!!!!!

This thing should last at least another year!!!

Finally upgraded to a Sapphire x850xt AGP and now I am set for live in AGP heaven.

agp? whats that? . .

The Accelerated Graphics Port (also called Advanced Graphics Port, often shortened to AGP) is a high-speed point-to-point channel for attaching a graphics card to a computer's motherboard, primarily to assist in the acceleration of 3D computer graphics. AGP is often referred to as a 'bus'; however, this is a misnomer - a single AGP controller is only capable of controlling a single device. This is the main reason that almost all mainboards have only a single AGP slot, although motherboards have been built with multiple independent AGP slots. AGP is currently being phased out in favor of PCI Express.

No they won't. They are called AGP 4x/8x cards because they will work in either a 4x or 8x slot. 4x/8x card in a 2x slot = fail

Hey i have a 9600XT agp which makes 54 fps in counter strike stress test under windows vista whit everything high and AA4x AF 16X, i cant be worse than that for a good gameplay, whats is best for me , buy a new rig now(amd), wait for next intel plataform or buy a new agp card and let agp live for me a litle longer.

is it posible we can clock the agp hd3850 core to pci-e version core ? :D

it probably is running a lower volt thru the gpu so that it fits the specs for agp what it it like 75watts or somethin from the socket plus a HDD connector?

rodneyhchef

01-02-2008, 03:59 PM

Those are just default 3850 clocks. Not seen or heard anything about AGP stuff not being able to clock as high due to power constraints. My x1950 uses two molex connectors to draw extra power, and uses about the same or more of it than the 3850 (according to wizzards review) Plus it's overclocked as well as I could expect (500/600 default, now 634/824)

I don't see why it won't o/c but they could be using the worst performing GPUs in the agp cards I guess. (like cdawall said) Would explain the fact that it's not overclocked.

If'n you mean the new score:

The 1 and only ..................................Springdale i865PE Abit AI-7:rockout:
Canterwood killer:rockout:

it's actually my second one. Thought the first had some problem when the antec lost a fan about a year ago that took out my beloved Leadtek A380 Ultra VIVO , but put it in my ole Enlight case and fired it up and works, so I might pop that killer 2.4C 30 capper in and use the BFG 7800GS/OC for some hotrodding.

I had tried it [2.4] in here w/the 500EB's and banged 300FSB1:1:pimp:

ai-7>ic7? does abit have a cracked bios to enable PAT on it?

As far as I know the IC-7's are i875 chippers that are PAT

My Ai-7's[BIOS19] used to enable full PAT with the XMS3200XLPT's, just using default BIOS, 800/1:1

Since I have had the XMS3200C2PT sets,[2x1024 and 2x512] and even the OCZ500EBPT's, I've not been able to have PAT, unless I use the 667 BootStrap, or use memset to enable partial PAT.

Well crap the new 4x512 OCZ3200 ELPT Rev2's needed to use the 667B/S, but it's stable and error free at 218FSB, and 2.9v.

Supposedly, the GAT setting for Turbo ect, was to allow PAT 1:1, but I have NEVER been able to get them to boot with any GAT settings other that AUTO

Count me in, I'm both AGP and PCI-E on a Asus P5VDC-X, and using AGP 8X at the moment, but my x1950 pro is about to blow. I might go for a PCI-E solution, sorry...

I must be the only person here downgrading from an AGPx8 to a PCI-E x4. That's what I call progress.

I feel like I needed to explain...

My x1950pro died on me and I needed an urgent cheap replacement which could work on future rigs (unlike another AGP card). I found a 7600GT PCI-E for 13 GBP (26USD) new from a shop on an auction site, and I couldn't resist the temptation.

My first AGP card was a Riva TNT, great card at the time. Then I changed to an integrated solution (9100 IGP) and finally got the x1950pro, probably my very last AGP board, unless I chose not to sell the RMA replacement, which I doubt. I don't think my current spec is making the most of it, or at least not substantially better than the 7600GT. And by the time I upgrade my system, there'll be better cards out there, or old x1950 pro's dirt cheap! I'm not working at the moment, so counting every penny! :)
