What is the best 4x agp video card out there?
As far as *I* am aware of the NVIDIA GeForce6200 is the best AGP 4x that is available
Will a 4x agp vga video card work with an 8x motherboard?
yes it will work just fine....the only difference is the bandwidth....
Prior to 1997, a PC’s graphics card was limited to a measly 133 MB/s of bandwidth. Then came the AGP slot with 266 MB/s, followed by AGP 2x with 533 MB/s, AGP 4x with 1,066 MB/s, and finally AGP 8x with 2,133 MB/s of potential bandwidth.
Scott|||Yes|||Yes it is backwards compatible!|||Sure it will but dont expect to play the latest games on it|||Better question: why are you trying to resurrect something as old as agp? :P
In answer to your question, yes.

I have a Asus P4SP-MX motherboard. I am not sure if my AGP 4x will provide enough (V) to run the video card?

Thats the card. its a HIS Radeon HD 2600 XT IceQ Turbo video card
I would like to know if it would function properly on my motherboard |||That card will definitely run on your motherboard. However, the card is a pretty fast 8X AGP card. It may be a bit bottlenecked by the 4X AGP slot. You may not realize the full potential of the card, possibly only about 80% of maximum performance.

Will an 8x video card work in a 4x slot?
It's an AGP 8x card and my slot is a 4x. It's also 256mb, geforce.
My friend told me I had to disable my onboard video chip, or something. Was wondering if that was the case. Also if the card failed after I disabled my video card, would I be able to re-enable the chip with no video card/chip running? Thanks in advance.|||The speed of the video card does not matter. If it is an AGP video card, it can be installed into the AGP slot.
Most mainboards will detect the presence of a video card and automatically disables the built-in video adapter. If the video card is removed, the mainboard will revert back to the built-in video adapter.
If the mainboard does not do this automatically, you can enable or disable the built-in video adapter in the BIOS setup.You can re-enable the built-in video adapter after disabling it.|||Yes.

What type of video card would be the best for my computer my friend told me it takes agp 4x?
the site i was told to check out is
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=agp+4x&x=0&y=0
so i was wondering which one to pick im willing to spend about $150 will spend more if necessary but would prefer significant lag decrease in online games like World of Warcraft thanks for your time|||Lag is a function of your network connection and distance from the server, not the video card. But if you are experiencing low framerates, a video card upgrade is what you need.
AGP 4x limits you to older video cards, I believe one of the best ones ever made for that bus was the GeForce 6800 GT.
The most important stat in video cards is the one seldom published: the pixel pipeline architecture. 128 or 256 or 512 MB video RAM does not matter nearly as much as 8 or 12 or 16 pixel pipes.
the Geforce 6800 GT comes with 16 pixel pipes. But here's a trick, you can do what I did, and order a regular geforce 6800, which comes with 12 pipes open, and use Rivatuner to modify it to use the remaining 4 which are turned off by default. It's actually the same card as the GT and you can save a pretty penny. I got mine for 100 bucks on Ebay and modding it was extremely easy, and it still works fine to this day.
My MOBO has AGP 8x but I see no reason why it wouldn't also work on 4x.
One thing I should note is that once I opened up the remaining pipelines, I found that the second monitor port stopped sending the red signal, resulting in color abberations, but since I don't use dual monitors I don't care. Just thought I'd let you know. You can always unmod it back the way it was if you change your mind, which will slow it down but give you dual monitors again.
And I agree with Anonymous X, make sure you have enough power.
Good luck!|||http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
this is the best, but you'll most likely have to upgrade your powersupply|||The best Gforce you can find.|||Any AGP card will work even if you get an AGP 8x as they are backwards compatible & will run at 4x without you even knowing it. Remember the video card is 1 of 3 major componants for smooth gameplay with CPU & RAM being the other 2 not counting internet connection if its an online(like WoW) game. For modern games like Bioshock & Crysis a good high GHz dual core CPU, 2GB of RAM & a modern high end video card are recomended. Seeing how you have an AGP bus your limeted on good modern cards but you can still get an older Nvidia 7900gs/gt or ATI x800xt that will work just fine, I like ATI but the X800xt is a SHADERMODEL 2.0 card while the 7900 is a SHADERMODEL 3.0 & most newer games require it. Newegg is a great place to buy & has great reviews that you can read to help you choose a good card. Again read the reviews on the cards as they will tell you if they are good or not.
Enjoy & game on!

Will an AGP 4x/8x video card work on my AGP 2x/4x system?
Will that [AGP 4x/8x] work on my AGP 2x/4x computer?|||yes, but you will be capped at 4x speed|||Yes, it will work...however your won't get maximum performance from the card.
Best video card for gameplay on a AGP 4x slot motherboard?
I have an ASUS P4VP-MX motherboard which uses AGP 4x slot. It say's on the manual that the slot supports 1.5v AGP 4x mode graphic cards.
I am looking to purchase the game Crysis which recommends that I have a video card greater than or equal to of the following:
Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Will my motherboard be able to support a video card that is capable of playing this video game?
What is the best Video card that I can purchase that supports this motherboard?
Btw I have an Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.4 GHz. And will be upgrading this later along with adding more RAM also.|||Try the Radeon HD 3850 AGP version|||This http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis…
You going to be able to play Crysis with any of the above.
