Video Card Question

[jiro]

---

mao gihapon.

Geforce 9800 GT
9 - Generation
8 - Family
00 Variant

GS GT GTS GSO

new naming convention is
GT 230
2 - Generation
3 - Family
0 - variant

Nvidia's plan is to rename all geforce 8 or 9 to GTX 1xx (geforce 8 or 9 is the first generation)

ambut lang. galibug libug ra man ni sila.

[poldopunk]

ha! found it!

bro explain sad daw ko aning PCIE ug AGP, whats the difference. explanation like atong gatorade sad, heeheheeh.

[handsoff241]

agp = natures spring mineral water
pcie = gatorade vitamin water
lol

akong asus 8500GT karaan na diay?

Lol - ill try to explain it then.

first of all AGP and PCExpress 2 video cards are not compatible. your mother board has to have a slot for it.
now on to the drawing board.

AGP

Max speed - 200km/h


PCI-e

Max Speed - 320km/h

AGP is only 8x while PCI express have 16x, so theoretically PCI express runs faster than AGP.
But the problem is they run on the same road, so there's not much diffirence in terms of speed.

Right now, AGP and PCIexpress runs at roughly the same because both needs to talk with the software like Directx and OpenGL.
So AGP is running close to max speed of 190-200km/hr, while PCI express is running at it's average speed of 200km/h,
other's cant simply keep up.

Imagine the driver is talking too fast and the other guys listening to him couldnt understand. So he has to talk slowly so his teammates could understand. It wont be long before we change the race tracks, Soon PCI express will dominate in terms of performance.
And by the way, manufacturers are slowly kiling AGPs, this is ancient technology and they all want to switch to PCI express.

asa tah kapalit aning 7300gt ddr2 na agp mga bords??.. fx5500 agp sad akung vc... ganahan unta ko mg upgrade... naa pay baligya ani sa mga pc stores??..

ahh. so how could we efficiently use the speed of the PCIE bro?

[vashtinone]

^^ use PCIE vc in a PCIE compatible motherboard bro..

mao jud!

idol imo mang gi-wani akong mineraled water... gihimo man nimong sports car
