AGP 1x, 2x, 4x- some interesting info
The question of which AGP speed is better has appeared several times on this forum. Here is a comparison of the 3 standards- in German, but the graphs speak for themselves.

Yea, it shows absolutely no difference, but then again, they didn't really use AGP in the sense that it was meant to be used. Each should have been run at higher and higher resolutions, then you would start to see the differences between them. AGP is getting like processor speed, they now have 8x AGP cards out, but at what resolution are you gonna have to run at to see any benefit from it?

Well, they mentioned higher resolution in the last paragraph:
"In this test we intentionally haven't run benchmarks at higher resolutions, because this wouldn't be oriented to practice anymore. Anyway I can tell you a 'spot check': With Q3 and a resolution of 1600x1200, between AGP 1x and AGP 4x, there was a difference of 2 fps in favour of AGP 4x. With Serious Sam 2 there was no fps difference at all even with a resolution of 1600x1200 (tested with AGP Size of 128 MB)." Looks like there is no befenit wtih AGP 8x, not even noticeable benefit with AGP 4x, with current games and monitors. RJ Last edited by RJ; 04-14-2002 at 12:21 PM. |
