how can i know wha's the agp bandwidth of my card

there is a lot of card that work at 6gb/s and more but
i'm questionning my self why on the web site of asus ( it a exemple) they
say the agp bandwidth go to
AGP 8X Technology a7v8x-wl

AGP8X (AGP 3.0) is the next generation VGA interface specification that
enables enhanced graphics performance with high bandwidth speeds up to
2.12GB/s and twice as fast as AGP4X.

to get the best of any game a should then choose a motherboard that goes
highier than 2.12gb/s... i'm i ok with that
thought .


I'm not sure but I think your confusing 2 attributes of a card. Firstly we
have the speed at which the onboard memory works. Secondly we have the speed
at which the AGP bus works, and hence how fast the card can access system
memory if an application should need it. Even at AGPx8 this is much slower
that the speed at which the card can use it's own memory. Most knowledgable
people would prefer to have lot's of fast onboard memory and just use the
fastest AGP speed that's available.
