Agp 8x Graphics Card

[Skillian]

Just a quick question here hopefully. I want to buy a video card that is advertised as AGP 8X. I'm pretty sure my motherboard is limited to AGP 4X. Will the card work?

yea i got a geforce 4 ti 4800 which is 8x agp they work fine you can choose in options from either 2x/4x/8x so its fine

if you want the most out ya card though get a 8x agp motherboard, nforce 2 board is meant 2 be very good

hope this helps

Well, actually AGP 8x won't be noticebly faster as AGP 4x. Read this article

But I agree with Nottingham_Forest FC, that a combination of a agp 8x motherboard and video card is the best option for the future.

And as an added bonus, the agp 8x revisions of the Geforce4 Ti series run at a higher memory clockspeed, so they should be faster than their agp 4x counterparts.
