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.
Or read the rest where I got the answer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port
Bandwidth.
There is no latest AGP bus. The most recent bus designed for high performance equipment is PCI-E. And x16 has the highest bandwidth.
Yes, the ATI AIW X800 XT can run on a 4x AGP slot, as it is backward compatible with AGP 4x. However, its performance may be limited compared to running it on an 8x AGP slot, which provides higher bandwidth. Ensure that your power supply can support the card, as it may require additional power connectors. Overall, while functional, the card's performance will not be optimal on a 4x AGP interface.
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.
there are only one card in agp . but there many types in agp example: 64 bit agp ,256 bit agp
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.
Yes, AGP is completely backwards compatible.
Buy a motherboard with an AGP slot.
You can upgrade an AGP video card to any other AGP video card.
the acronym of AGP is Accelerated Graphics Port
No AGP is older and slower. AGP was superseded PCI Express in 2004.
No, the AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port) interface does not feature serial data transfers. AGP is a parallel interface designed specifically for graphics cards, allowing for faster data transfer rates compared to traditional PCI. It uses a dedicated point-to-point connection between the graphics card and the motherboard, enabling high bandwidth for rendering graphics. However, modern graphics interfaces like PCIe (PCI Express) do utilize serial data transfers.
