I am running an ATI Radeon X800 XT PCI Express (16x).

[porsch1909]

what is your full system specs. and where did you get that card from i though it was not released yet.

It is out.

I bet that thing rocks some socks off....

From what I read in the benchmarks for it it is the fastest card on the market right now.... seems to include just about everything to play and convert to media use.

640 bucks, hell no

[Rabbitrunner51]

Thats what i say actually....

Just get a 6800GT....which has plug ins for your basic media....

I think alot of what your paying for is the abilities to convert to different type of media and plug ins...and ATI is making great strides in this area right now....

As far as the buisness sector and corporate world..Nvidia seems to be the leader there...offering several good business solutions that incorporate several computer network infrastructure base..

For $388.00 the 6800GT is on sale a t NewEgg.com now

Darn...I sure wish I could afford it right now....

I dont think,that the pci-e version will be faster than the ago version, because

1. modern graphics cards dont even utilize the agp. you cannot even really tell a difference in benchmarks betwenn agp 4x and agp 8x.

2. the card is still a natiuve agp card. it uses an agp-to-pci-e bridge to implement pci-e.

Like for like, AGP is still the marginally faster interface

but only, because there are no natiuve pci-e cards out yet. when they come out, they will run marginally faster on pci-e than w/ agp using a pci-e to apg bridge.

technically the transferrate of pci-e 16x is faster than of agp 8x as far as i know.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

IIRC, Nvidia is currently using an PCI-E-->AGP bridge chip, while all of Ati's current PCI-E lineup are native PCI-E. Despite this, from what little i've seen thus far, AGP is still marginally faster than even current native PCI-E

from what i know, the current nvidia gpus are still native agpo, the next generagtion wioll be native pci-e. i also have read, that the next generation from nvidia will not feature a pci-e to agp bridge, so it will be for pci-e only. i hope, that amd will also support pci-e soon...

[MrBurns]

according to this article, the max. transfer rate of agp is 2GB/s, for PCI-E 16x its 4GB/s.

dont you guys think that score of his is a bit low. sorry im not too up to date with what is and isnt out i just back from hols. i saw where my CPU came from the AMD and intel one im so happy and my HDD for that matter.

For stock speeds that sounds about right

16-pipe cards make us 8-pipers feel small, but then again this rig has killer value.
