Geforce's in PCI

Lenny

anyone know were they're avaible
I've heard they're hard to come accross and are they that much slower than AGP and are they cheaper or whats the story with the difference between the AGP and PCI stuff

thanks.

Certain models of the GeForce 2 MX are available in PCI. I don't know how they compare in performance, but I presume the PCI based card would be slower than a similar AGP based card. No other cards in the GeForce series are available in PCI bus form. AFAIK, Creative labs make both PCI and AGP mx's.

aye they're slower because they've half the bus bandwidth of AGPx1, but they usually employee an extra buffer to deal with PCIs limitations (not being able to "directly" access system memory a la AGP).

benchmarks compared to an equivalent AGP Geforce:

I know Peats in Dublin do a Creative GeForce 2 32MB card for around £130.

PC World have a dodgy 3D Prophet GeForce 2 32MB card for a similar price.

(Oh, they're PCI by the way )
