VGA is an interface for connecting a monitor (as well as a specific resolution used in the earliest cards and monitors to implement it). AGP is a bus on which a graphics card can be installed.
No, VGA connectors and AGP connectors are not compatible. VGA (Video Graphics Array) is an analog video interface used to connect monitors to graphics cards, while AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) is a type of interface used to connect a graphics card to a motherboard. They serve different purposes: VGA transmits video signals, while AGP is a slot for installing graphics cards. Therefore, they cannot be used interchangeably.
I'm sure it will, it will just run at 4X.
1. If the onboard VGA fails, you buy a new motherboard, but if the AGP video card fails you buy a new video card. 2. You can select any video features you want to pay for if you use the AGP video card, but you're stuck with whatever your motherboard has if you use the onboard card. 3. Onboard video cards are typically quite basic. 4. It must be faster and better than onboard vga.
No. There are ISA, PCI, PCI-e and AGP architecture, and there are VGA and DVI ports.
Maybe. It depends on the AGP connector type of the motherboard and vga card. The ECS P4VXASD2.v1 motherboard has - I think - an Universal AGP slot ( not Universal AGP 3.0 !!) which can set 3.3 V or 1.5 V signal line voltage. The question is : What AGP connector does a vga card have ? Because of we are speaking about an 8x AGP card now the card connector type can be :AGP3.0 (in this case it won't work)Universal 1.5V AGP3.0 (it will work)Universal AGP3.0 (it will work).So the answer is : Try to find the voltage requirement or AGP collector type of card what you will purchase.If you have already bought the card and there is no signal from AGP (for example the monitor is dark )you can do a proof. Do the followings:check the card in an another computer with 8x AGP motherbord AGP slotif the card works try to find his "AGP driving control" value (for example on the working computer:PowerStrip->Adapter information->Report . You can see this value in a list. )note the "AGP driving control" value (it is a hexa value between 00 - FF)start the computer with motherboard P4VXASD2.v1 and enter BIOS setupgo to "Advanced Chipset Features" and see value of "AGP Driving Control" (the default is Auto)set it to FX5700LE's value"Save & Exit" from the BIOS Setupinstall your FX5700LE in the P4VXASD2.v1 motherboardstart the computerIf the "no signal problem" persists your FX5700LE has an AGP3.0 collector type.It means your card can not work together with your P4VXASD2 mobo. ( In this case you should set back in the BIOS the original "AGP driving control" value. It can be your old AGP will have a "no signal" problem now. If it was use a PCI card to set BIOS-value back) I hope , I could help you.Hi! I was asking similar question to ECS Technical Support (question was about different model of GeForceFX - 5200) The answer was that this mobo supports only AGP 4X graphics card (AGP 2.0), and it's not guaranted to work well with AGP 8X (AGP 3.0) cards. "This model is support AGP2.0(4X, 2X, 1X), so can not support AGP3.0 VGA card(4X/8X)" In attachment I got this: Differences between: AGP 2.0 // AGP 3.0 Signaling: 1.5V Signaling // New 0.8V Signaling Protocol: AGP1.0 + Fast Writes // AGP2.0 + Some enhancements - some deletions Speeds: 4X, 2X, 1X // 8X, 4X Connector: 1.5V keyed, Universal // 1.5V keyed, UniversalHowever, refering to the first answer, my graphics card's manufacturer technical support informed me that its connector is 1.5V, so it should work. I'll try the given proof and update my answer.
No, they are physically different buses.
No. VGA port is not either serial or parallel port. It is a different interface. If you need a serial output, you need a VGA to serial converter.
Depends on the card, to connet to the PC it'll either be AGP or PCI if its old, if its new it'll b PCI-E (express) connections on it will be either VGA or DVI to output.
AGP is very old and crappy. PCI e is the newest graphics adapter interface.
PCI PCI Ex 16 AGP
A VGA box which is used in the gaming industry connects different audio visual pieces of equipment to a monitor which is VGA enabled. This allows games to be played on the monitor.
The PCI video card should work, but you may need to change a setting in your BIOS to recognize it. Enter "setup" when the computer starts, and look for a setting about video options. There is usually a setting indicating to seek an AGP or a PCI video card upon startup. NO! A pci video card will only fit into a pci slot in a motherboard. Likewise an agp will only fit into an agp slot. They are completely different. Both of these above answers are right and wrong. PCI and AGP are two totally different standards, but as long as you have an open PCI slot, you can use a PCI video card and opt not to use the AGP (Make sure to change appropriate options in your BIOS.) ==Answer == Yes you can use a PCI card where the slot is avaliable, but if your motherboard has a slot for AGP cards it is worth noting that the systemboard was designed with AGP in mind. It offers a system bus direct to the prossesor for faster unhindered communication.Running a PCI card on a AGP board may and probably will slow down your system performance.
