PCI vs AGP ?

[BentValve]

This is an old question but are the differences really that big between PCI and AGP video? If so what exactly are those differences?

thanks

Here is a good article for you to take a look at:

Here is a newer link at the same site. In short, there is no difference in performance.

If we're talking about the original PCI vs AGP then the difference is massive; a PCI card can lose up to 50% performance over its equivalent PCI card.

If you're talking about PCIe vs AGPx8 then the difference probably isn't that large these days but it'll certainly make a difference in the future.
