will the 6800 gs work with a AGP x4 motherboard? and if it does will it make a difference if i get a agp x8?
 
good question. no one ever answered to me either. I was wondering how much video card an AGP 4x slot could take without being crippled by the limited bandwidth.

I know... I guess you didn't quite get my meaning.

AGP 4x is does not have as much bandwidth AGP 8x. I wanted to know, if at all, which cards needed more bandwidth than AGP 4x could offer.

The high end cards id say from 9800XT to X850XTPE and 5900ultra to 6800ultra. Other than that i dont think it matters much because i saw absolutely NO difference in performance when i changed to 8x on my 5600ultra.
 
No.

6800GS is a very high demanding card, aside from needing a good power supply you also need a good motherboard with full link bandwidth. AGP8x basically. For lower end cards like the FX series, the Geforce Ti series, and the Radeon 9600 and below, I think a AGP4x link would be fine.

How the **** do you play BF2 on high settings?
