but my MotherBoard's AGP slot is 4X,,,,,,,so what I whant exactly is how many percent (x%) in performance will I get if I get such an AGP 8X MotherBoard ?


Hope ya help..........

The difference between putting the card in an 4x slot than a 8x slot is minimal you wont see much of an increase in performance by using 8x slot with the card you have.

agreed with above there is virtually no performance difference between the two.

A friend and I actually did an experiment to see if there was a difference. We found none, and we wasted a whole afternoon.

But when I turn the AGP slot from 4x to off mode I lose 100 plus in 3DMark 03
so what's your opinion ?
BTW: my card get 2219 point with 1024x768 32bit, AGP 4x

What do you mean by off mode do you mean AGP 2x. There is a performance difference between an AGP 2X and AGP 4X:

But there is no virtually no performance difference between 4X and 8X maybe 9 FPS or so in some areas and resolutions:
