AGP4X vs. AGP8X

Posted by CmdrTaco on Sunday July 28, 2002 @07:47AM from the i'll-believe-it-when-I-see-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With upcoming chipsets such as the SiS648 claiming support for the latest AGP8X standard, we asked ourselves if there were any performance benefits. We took the SiS648 and Xabre 400 reference boards, modified them and compared the results." I can't even get 4x stable under XP, so I figure 8x is half as likely to let me play NWN :)

My understanding is that AGP 8X is the end of the line for the AGP bus. Next up will be a new graphics bus. Don't ask me for a link cuz I don't remember where I read it but that is what I've heard.
