I'm sure this information is out there, but last I looked, I had a hard time finding details. Also, I hope I got this in the correct forum..
I'm curious, being that people still swear up and down that AGP8x is still barely even needed, how much bandwidth a 1600x1200 image uses on the AGP/PCI-E bus. Is resolution all that effects the amount of bandwidth required?
On of the MAJOR advantages to PCI-E over AGP is when using frame grabbing software such as Fraps. But can anyone explain why?? Is it to do with synchronous up/down data transfer?
The guys at Fraps indicated to me (in support emails) that it was the AGP bus that was the bottleneck when I asked them about very poor performance while recording from a 1600x1200 source.
