HD2600 pro AGP is mine, whats your's? XD

Anyone else here ever had or has an AGP anything i would really love to get more feed back on this , and what of the ups and downs of these cards.

Edited: revised post as to not make me seem uninformed XD, as is pointed out by eleanna AGP is the slot predecessor to PCI-e slots.

P.S. what i love most about this forum, Always learning
 
My AGP Nvidia LT Vanta card is still holdin up on my old ass 1600 AMD system.

Only good for surfing the web though
 
I have an old PNY 64MB Geforce 2 Ti that is probably still kicking. I say that because the system it was in, crapped out a few years ago.

Yea I still have a nvidia AGP TI4200 64megger in a box somewhere, Man back in the day that was the best price/performance card out in the market.....man im really old now..../wrists
 
hahaha... Im running a HIS ICEQ3 3850 512 AGP, before that an X850pro modded to an XT, before that a 9800pro, before that a radeon 7000, and before that an ATI 3D-rage(first vidcard)
 
i have a really old mx440 and a fx5200. they both sucked but at the time for cs it was alright. years later and their still running strong.
 
Some AGP cards I've had... ATi Rage, nVidia MX420, MX440, MX440 AGP8x, Ti4200, FX5900 Ultra, ATi 9500 Pro (modded to 9700), 9800 Pro (2 times!), some more I don't remember. I'm old...

By the way, AGP is not a company, its the predecessor to PCI-e. Sorry to have to tell you this, but your HD2600 pro is actually by ATI.
 
AGP is alive and kicking in my collective. :D
My server has a Gateway RIVA TNT2 Pro 32MB.
My HTPC has a ATI X800XT AIW 256MB.
My MP3 box has a Diamond Savage 4 16MB.
My wife has a BFG FX5500 OC 128MB.
My daughter has a Leadtek 6800GT 256MB.

oo i had the rage too, totally forgot about it. i had one, i believe before agp from ati and it had this crazy memory expansion slot. the name completely slips my mind.
 
lol thanks for that elleana XD well its jsut as good as any old PCI-e card,XD j/k but I miss read something on the speccs, since it's late and all ^ ^,

"The specification of the AGP version of the HD2600 mirrors the PCI Express edition: "

I should read more carefully next time, and spare myself looking stupid XD

so im guessing my mobo has an agp slot as opposed to the more common PCI and PCI-E slots?

2 threads in one ^ ^ talk about saving space.
 
Your motherboard also has PCI slots. PCI came long before AGP and it was (and still is) used for everything from GPU's to soundcards to network cards and to port expansion (and a lot more). AGP was then developed and released as a way for GPU developers to not worry about being bottlenecked by the PCI bus and then came along PCI Express to address bottlenecks to the AGP slot along with being able to deliver more power to newer and more power hungry GPU's (PCI Express 2.0 builds upon this).

PCI will be around for quite a while :)
 
If you do have the AGP version of it, you most likely don't have a PCI-E slot but there are probably the oddball motherboards out there that have both just like there have been boards that have both DDR and DDR2. Just about every motherboard has PCI slot though, minus the extremely old ones of yesteryear which only had ISA.
 
pci-express + core 2 duo chips are dirt cheap....DDr2 memory are dirt cheap, no reason to buy an agp card!
 
well as long as I'm looking like an idiot already lets get all my ignorance on the subject out of the way ^ ^
PCI-e slot can't handle 4800, since its PCI-E 2.0?

One of the best cards I've owned, I ebayed it a long time ago though.

I'm still running a 6800GT on my other computer (see Phobos in sig). My dad has one of my older computers and it has a 9800XT.

I still own a GeForce 3 Ti 200
 
my kids comp has 6800 ultra agp, and i still have a boxed voodoo with a whopping 4 megs of vram!

Like the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 :) or any of the ASRock Dual line for that matter. Made my transition from an AGP X800XL to a PCI-E 3850 512MB a breeze, could even slap in an AM2 CPU if I really wanted, I love that board.
 
Just took an old Barton rig from a 7600GT to a HD3850 agp of course :D. Before I passed this rig to the kids I wanted to give it a decent send off.
 
My old dual xeon rig has an X800XTPE AGP in it, not a bad card other than lack of SM3.0 support. Still looking for an excuse to upgrade the card and use the box for something again but haven't found one yet :(
 
Hi hi.

Until few months ago I was actively raiding in World of warcraft on this dino:

Celeron 900@1200 :p
Gf fx5600xt
a gig of ram.
nice ECS mobo


Not only raiding but even playing two clients at once in windowed mode.

It did work actually pretty well.

a PCI-e 16x slot that is not PCI-E 2.0 can still run a PCI-E 2.0 card. So if you have a PCI-E 16x 1.0 slot, then yes it will run
 
Currently running an HD2400 Pro, evga 6200, MX440, and a gainward ti4200 FTW!!! Go stone age computing :D
 
x800 was the last AGP card I bought... I dont even know what box it's in...
 
Nvidia Geforce2 GTS in my classic slot A athlon and Nvidia 6800gt in my socket A system in my sig.

 
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Atlantis. I bought it play HL2 and Counterstrike: Source about 2 years ago. I'm still using it
