July 18, 200817 yr What's your: Budget Power Supply Unit And what do you plan on using card-x for? Games, new/old? And what's your current computer configuration?

July 19, 200817 yr I dont think there are any AGP Nvidia 8 Series Cards but you still can get the ATI HD3850 in AGP but it is alot more expensive than the PCIe version as AGP is an obsolete technology now. You could go try get a 512mb ATI HD2600pro or look at the mid-range Nvidia 7-series AGP cards
July 19, 200817 yr It all comes down to your budget. You'll pay a premium for a AGP card because they're old technology. We have a 7600GT AGP card and that can run all modern games fine on low-medium depending on the game at question. For low range, either a 7300GT from Nvidia or a X1650 from ATI. For mid range, I guess you have the 7600GT from Nvidia and the 2600PRO from ATI. Stepping up, you'd be looking at a 7800GS or 7900GS from Nvidia and a X1950 or 3850 from ATI.

July 19, 200817 yr Crucial issues: The cash budget, The power budget (higher performance AGP will use molex "disk drive" power connector, and need a considerable slice more 12V juice from the power supply - a basic system PSu would only cover the bottom of the range models and some lower midrange). The AGP slot type - modern cards tend to be 4x/8x compatible, and are not compatible with older 2x/3.3V mode slots, though that transition was a long time ago - AMD Socket A could be found with either, but anything more recent than that should have at least a 4x. AGP 1.0 was 1x/2x and 3.3V - AGP 2.0 was 4x/1.5V (Some cards were also 3.3V tolerant "universal" and could fit AGP 1.0 systems). The slot keying of 1.5V and 3.3V is different, so a mismatch should not fit. AGP 3.0 supports 8x and 0.8V signalling using 1.5V - AGP 3.0 card use the 1.5V keying position, and I've not seen any that are not also 4x/1.5V capable.
