5900 PCI Express equal to what?

What would a 5900 PCI Express be equal to in an AGP card, Nvidia not ATI.

A 5900, they are no different save for one being PCI-E and one being AGP. No
benefit from moving to PCI Express at all.

well its probably equal to the fx 5900 agp card, your not going to see
performance increase. Video cards today are barely utilizing 8x agp.

Er, a 5900 AGP. It doesn't matter what interface it uses - it's still a 5900

Really,the interface has everything to do with it. AGP 8x
is 2.1 GB/s and PCX is 4.0 GB/s

That would be true if the interface was the bottleneck. It's not. A 5900
performs the same with AGP 4X, 8X, or PCI Express.

Further, please do not encourage the use of "PCX" to refer to PCI Express
(and I don't _care_ if some marketing nitwit has used it as a brand ame).
PCI-X is a totally different standard, and there's enough confusion on that
point as it is.

No, that marketing nitwit is an _employee_ of nvidia.
