ATI tool shows .... ?

[holycpu]

I want to check whether if the video card is AGP or PCI-Express for ATI video card, will ATI tools tell you whether the card is PCI-Express or AGP interface? OR My computer --> properties ---> tell u whether you are pci-e or agp?

Thank you

My computer > properties > hardware > device manager > system devices would probably be the easiest way without opening the case. In there you will see an AGP host to PCI bridge of you have a motherboard with AGP, or PCIe stuff if you your motherboard/videocard uses that.

you can just open your case and see if there is no way to tell for ati cards. i know for nvidia you just go to the geforce tab and it says agp 8x or pci-e 16x.

but u can ofcourse tell from ATI tools or when u open ur Nvidia profile it will mention there
u also open ur pc and look at the place where the card goes in ur motherboard...if its AGP it will have 2 small gaps while PCI-e has one gap.....

Yes, there is a bunch of info there about all the functions of your motherboard chipset, but it has to either include AGP or PCI-e stuff and it won't have both so your answer is there.
