NVIDIA G92 rumors - possible specifications

[HaZe303]

No you didnt understand me, or I didnt maybe understand you. I thought you meant it was the same thing as when we changed from AGP to PCI-E?? And I mean its not exactly the same thing. But now I im not sure you meant from AGP to PCI-E, but more the different versions of AGP??? Actually I dont remember so much of the AGP, I got really in to GFX and the hardware in end of AGP era(before pci-e), so I really cant argue it.

Ps. Always had an intresse in PC´s, but as graphics and hardware has evolved last 5-6 years I´ve become more aware of it. So had you asked me about what kind of GFX card or GPU I had 10 years ago I wouldnt have known unless I´d opened up the case and looked for it.. Needed just to clearify that...

Yeah I was talking about agp's evolutions, not the switch. agp was a parallel bus-pcie serial, along with many other differences.

PCIe should be a much more compatible bus, but you know what they say about compatibility...the more products that are covered the larger the performance penalty is.

Because when you say you double performance of something people buy it.

the only difference in speed on agp was from 2x to 8x. From 4 to 8 there was no boost in performance. It may very well end up like that for pci-e v1.0 and pci-e v2.0
