Short answer: 2 GigaBytes per second.
Long answer: 2GB/s with 8X card and 8X motherboard bandwidth between card and motherboard. Which says nothing about a video card's internal bandwidth (GPU to built-in video memory) which is irrelevant as today's games even exceed that.

What am i losing when i have and 8x agp card with only a 4x slot?
Bandwidth.
Who is faster a pci express x16 bus or the latest agp bus?
There is no latest AGP bus. The most recent bus designed for high performance equipment is PCI-E. And x16 has the highest bandwidth.
Whats better agp 8x or pci video card?
AGP 8x is better than PCI. PCI came first, then AGP, now PCI Express. (more and more data can be transferred with each successive version). For a more detailed explanation on videocards, see: http://www.pchardware.co.uk/graphiccards-page2.php Different Card Types Video cards come in three different connector types: PCI, AGP, and PCI Express. The slots all look different and are easily identifiable from each other. PCI these connect into the often white slots of your Motherboard, they have been common on motherboards since the early 1990's they replaced the ISA standard. AGP Often brown connectors were introduced as they allowed four times the bandwidth over PCI. Most AGP video cards are now designed to work only with the newer AGP 2.0 and 3.0 standards. PCI Express often shortened to PCIe is the latest technology designed to replace AGP and work with the main board systems to allow larger amounts of bandwidth to be transferred which results in a new level of graphics and system performance.
What are the card used in PCI slots?
there are only one card in agp . but there many types in agp example: 64 bit agp ,256 bit agp
Will a 2x agp card work in a 4x agp slot?
Yes, AGP is completely backwards compatible.
Which motherboard offers both AGP and PCI slots for periphial cards?
That's a standard setup for older motherboards.However now PCI Express is becoming the preferred peripheral slot.The largest version of this has greater bandwidth than an AGP slot and has replaced it for high end graphics cards.Obviously PCI express is designed to be far superior to PCI.
How do you get an agp slot?
Buy a motherboard with an AGP slot.
What can you upgrade an AGP video card to?
You can upgrade an AGP video card to any other AGP video card.
What is the Acronym of AGP?
the acronym of AGP is Accelerated Graphics Port
Does AGP transfers data at the same speed as PCI Express?
No AGP is older and slower. AGP was superseded PCI Express in 2004.
What is the purpose of an AGP card?
An AGP card functions as the computer's graphics processor.
An a agp slot is normally used for an what expansion card?
An AGP video card.
