Does anyone here know if the AGP version AVGA is x4 or x8?...what 'x's the PCIe version is? Those who've gotten either, why did you? |
| Chris G:
I bought the PCIe version since my mobo does not have an AGP slot. (Plus Andy said it was faster. :) Not sure about the "X" factor. I'm sure Andy would give you a quick response if you emailed him. EDIT: If I remember correctly, the product description specifies which board the AVGA is based on, so I bet you could figure out the specs based on that. |

AGP 8x I assume as its a Radeon 9250. PCIe I am not sure but its a Radeon X550 Not that matters much, its hardly chucking around much in the way of graphics in mame. They are really only budget cards that have had a custom BIOS put on them. I believe the X550 is good enough for the likes Half Life 2 at respectable frame rates. I went for AGP as it means you can get a cheapo second hand motherboard in your cab or use an existing older one. It also gave me the simplest solution for getting a PC onto a proper arcade monitor. Ideal solution for my needs, put the PC together for next to nothing by stripping some parts from my old Shuttle XPC which was AMD based, bunged it in the cab with a miniPac and job done! |

I have the AVGA2, AGP version. I also believe it's 8x (and 4x compatible) since it's based on the Radeon 9250. I simply chose this version because the extra machines I have at home (used for MAME) are all AGP based. Great card though. |
