pci 64 bit graphic cards?

[lokomotiv]

well I want some use for my pci 64bit slots, anyone got any idea where I can find a graphics card or any info on what use to put for em

I don't want a stupid scsi controler or a network card
/S

i think its called AGP

As far as I know there aren't any 64-bit PCI graphics cards. I think the 3Dlabs GVX1 might support 66MHz PCI (32-bit) but I'm not certain about that.

Since AGP is 66 MHz 32-bit PCI with a couple of extras, you'll hardly find any chips to make a 64-bit PCI VGA card from.

4x agp would still be twice as fast as 64bit 66mhz PCI.

I got a agp graphics card and I don't like it..
Agp ain't a standard, it is like that bullshit eisa ibm came up with or whatever
Agp will probably be a dying standard, the question is when

Anywayz I need one more graphic card I need to connect 2 more monitors for a raytrace procject at work.

Hmms, and my 32bit pci is filled with crap

I think it would be sort of interesting to see a head to head against a PCI-X based card and a AGP 4x...I have a feeling the PCI-x (eventually capable of something around 133mhz) would be able to topple a comparable 4x AGP. Anyway, just my 2c

No, you're full of it. AGP is a standard. I don't care who came up with it (but IIRC it was a group of companies, Intel being one of them), but it works well, and kicks the crap out of everything else (except possibly PCI-X and SGI's proprietary stuff).

Ok, I'll make myself worthwhile and say that you're best off with a Radeon 8500 or Geforce 4 Ti4200 - either of these cards can do dual-display output.

EISA was a standard. And unless you're using a mucho expensive hardware accelerated raytracing card, the video card you use for ray tracing hardly matters.
