B.Ob. Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Measuring the Benefits of AGP: Is PCI-Express Necessary? "During Computex we saw photos of several Intel 925x boards equipped with both PCI Express and AGP slots. Since Intel’s new chipset doesn’t offer simultaneous support for PCI-E and AGP, there was a serious question as to how Gigabyte and ECS (the two manufacturers with boards on display) were accomplishing it." ... ... ... "For the gamer, however, PCI-Express is going to be a non-issue. Given that most games today barely stress the AGP 2x bus, moving to double AGP 8x isn’t going to do anything. It’s the equivalent of widening a highway no one drives on. Had AGP developed in the direction it was intended to things might be different, but it didn’t. Now, to some extent, it’s a solution to a problem no one has." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
