My buddy has a question about his computer running a x800pro at 4x agp and is to lazy to create an account. So im posting it for him so here is his question...
"Since HL2 is coming out soon, I want a new vid card that will have extremely good graphics in this new generations of games. I will be upgrading from a 9600 pro 128mb to either a x800 pro or a 9800 pro. However i have just found out that my mobo only has a 4x agp slot . . . makes me sad. Any how, i was wondering if this would greatly affect the performance out of these 2 videocards. I tried doing a little research and found the bench marks of a 4x 9700pro v. 8x 9700pro. In mostly everything the 8x barely out performed the 4x, only by a sliver, and in some things the 4x was better.
So my question is: is it worth buy an x800pro with on 4x agp capability? if not then should i buy or 9800pro? Thanks a lot."
