AGP x16

Christian Darrall · 07-25-2006, 03:50 PM

is there such thing, i had an old motherboard that had an agp slot and in the bios i had the choice of

x2
x4
x8
x16

but now thiking about it it might have been agp pro,

can you help me

U sure it isn't a pci express slot

Christian Darrall · 07-25-2006, 03:59 PM

no its an agp slot of some sort as its an old mb an so wont be compatible with pcie

hmmm...I don't think there's an AGP X16, it died at X8 when PCI-Express came out.

Christian Darrall · 07-25-2006, 04:05 PM

so what are all the slots that can run at 16x

shadow309 · 07-25-2006, 04:07 PM

to my understanding only PCIe runs at x16, check ur video card configuration and match it with the number on the bios, (x4,x8,), its probably one of those 2.

IF U HAVE ONE

my gpu is 8x but i wanted to know why it has 16x aswell

shadow309 · 07-25-2006, 04:11 PM

have u updated the bios?

Christian Darrall · 07-25-2006, 04:14 PM

is that when you download .rom format files,

i would like to but i have no clue on where to put them

shadow309 · 07-25-2006, 04:18 PM

well since its an old mother board, it could have an updated BIOS file that isnt exactly for your mobo, so maybe it has a later BIOS of a mobo that did support pcie x16, NOT SURE
