4X vs 8X AGP

In games, nothing. In SPECviewperf, there could be 10-13% gains. Whether these gains are reflected in the actual 3D and CAD programs are questionable. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

4X vs 8X AGP
The 4X card has half the signal bandwidth available tha the 8X has. So in a
current video intensive game the 4X would run at lower framerates. -- DaveW ---------------- "PMH" wrote in message news If all else on an agp card is equal what difference could be expected between a 4X and an 8X card? |

4X vs 8X AGP
* DaveW:
The 4X card has half the signal bandwidth available tha the 8X has. So in a current video intensive game the 4X would run at lower framerates. What is a "video intensive game"? A game with a lot of video footage? Then you obviously don't know that video uses very little gfx bandwidth and that there is _zero_ difference between AGP2x, AGP4x and AGP8x... Besides that, there also is no real difference in _any_ current *gfx* intensive game regarding AGP4x and AGP8x. There is a difference in certain synthetic benchmarks when run at extremely high resolutions with lots of very huge textures but the difference is barely a few fps at best, and certainly not worth mentioning.

It's hard enough to communicate effectively on newsgroups, trying to work around people like DaveW really makes it that much harder for no good reason. DaveW, do you get off being unhelpful? Go away please. |

You're assuming the card can max out 4x AGP which it can't. -- Conor "You're not married,you haven't got a girlfriend and you've never seen Star Trek? Good Lord!" - Patrick Stewart |

Do you get off on spreading bull**** Dave? I can't work out if you are a troll or not. DaveW (not to be confused with other well meaning Daves of this NG) is a total asshole who's been spewing out one liner answers and the ever-retarded "Use 45.23!!!" for YEARS! He hasn't seemed to learn a damn thing about graphics or trouble shooting and rarely participates in posts pertaining to things other than drivers for older cards. |
