I'm curious because I'm wondering if I should go out and buy a new mobo that supports AGP 8x or just leave it running at AGP 4x... There are only a couple of motherboards that support 8X AGP. Personally I don't think there is much difference... it's more of an incremental improvement than a major breakthrough.

AGP or PCI video card?
From what I have gleened, I'm thinking the whole 'dual mode' vs. 'single mode' is a lot like AGP 4X vs AGP 8X. It's a bandwidth issue. While the speed of the memory does not change, the transfer rate between the CPU and the memory increases going to dual channel mode. I could be wrong. But, I think that's the gist

VGA 8x vs. MBO sa AGP 4x???
The AGP and PCI bus on even the latest MBs are still intertwined so the pipeline is still limited to what the bus will allow. AGP 8x reserves just a small amount more of the pipeline for video textures than AGP 4x, but in real life application, there is very little difference. Do a Google search for AGP 4x vs 8x

The overall gain is still not a geometric increase in speed, more like a fractional increase. Also, Lightwave uses DirectDraw for the user interface panel drawing so a better DirectX card benefits slightly there. You really need to speed up whole system, your RAM, your hard drive, your processor, your AGP bus,

GF5600 vs AGP 4x
I guess I was worried not about a loss of speed, but would the card even fit/function in a 4x slot. A few other things are confusing me as I look online at the multitude of cards out there: how do "Core clock" and "Memory clock" fit in? What do they represent? What should I be looking for? Which is more important?

Umm... pa 4x vs 8x i nije neka strahovita razlika (vise marketinski trik, pogotovo za kratice tog ranga) pa ti je bolje drzati na 4x i miran si, barem dok ne dodjes do smislenog rjesenja. Btw, ak ne vjerujes, probaj upalit neku igru sa 8x AGP-om i gledat malo FPS-ove (ili mjerit sa FRAPS-om na primjer) i onda isto

High-end computer system dilemma almost resolved!
Is there any point if I have AGP 4X? Or will it not be worth the money? I don't want to upgrade the motherboard right now. 4X vs 8X AGP is basically hype like pc100 vs pc133. Most of what is "going on" in 3D rendering is being done in hardware on the card using it's own memory. And yes upgrading the card will make

Software that was designed to fit the limitations of AGP 4x bandwith doesn't benefit much from AGP 8x bandwith. And you think this is a revelation?

Funny though that some people also here claim the slow AGP bus is the reason PC games have so "low" polygon counts compared to console games. If it was so, wouldn't it mean PC games could have twice the polygon counts of today by just going from AGP 4x to 8x? My bet is the reason for PC games having so low a
