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.

Is VGA and AGP different?
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.
Can your elitegroup motherboard p4vxasd2 v3.3 with a 4x agp support can support 8x agp vga cards?
I'm sure it will, it will just run at 4X.
Which is better div or vga?
Dvi would be better than vga. DVI was the front runner for HDMI. VGA has been around for quite a while as far as technology goes.
What is better Vga or svideo better quality?
short answer is VGA
Are graphics cards universally compatible?
No. There are ISA, PCI, PCI-e and AGP architecture, and there are VGA and DVI ports.
Should you use DVI or VGA to connect to a desktop?
Depends on if you have a DVI compatible monitor and video card. DVI is considered better than VGA.
What is the difference between a D915GAV and D915PGN?
PGN doesn't have onboard vga card while the GAV does have a built in vga car. LAN on PGN is a must while GAV can come with or without LAN.
What phone is better 5300 or 5200?
It scores over 5200 as: 1.3 Megapixel camera is better than vGA. 320x240 Lcd display, it is larger than 177x144 that of 5200.
Will using an HDMI cable for an external monitor produce better graphics than using the VGA cable?
HDMI and VGA are both video interfaces capable of carrying computer display data to a monitor. HDMI is digital, VGA is analog. HDMI is NOT inherently better than VGA. Each will support a wide range of screen resolutions and it is the screen resolution and color depth that affect the image quality rather than the interface used. Choose a graphics card that supports the resolution you need and make sure it has the output you need to connect to your monitor.
What is the interface of a video card?
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.
If a motherboard has a vga port then does you need a graphics card?
If your motherboard has a VGA connection, that means it has an onboard video chipset and no you do not need to buy a dedicated video card unless you want to play more modern games or are using any other program that requires a dedicated gfx processor.
Can an Elitegroup motherboard P4VXASD2 v1 with a 4X AGP support an E-VGA GeForceFX 5700LE 256mb 8x AGP card?
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.
