PCI-Express question

BobTheBeat · 2005-02-21 19:54:03

Hey all. I dont know a whole lot about GFX adapters but, I have an XFX Geforce 6800 GT PCI-Express card and was wondering can you get a bridge chip/adapter to get a PCI-E card running in an AGP i/face? :confused:

AFAIK, you can't get an "adaptor" or bridge chip. They have to me manufactured into the card.

yeh i dont think they have made them, would be a good idea though, except the card would run slower
