16000 on 3D Mark 2005 via AGP proves that there was never a need for PCI-E 1.0

This Thread delivers.

So in other words, you think there is a conspiracy with hardware?

Then this should be in the P/R thread.

Two things:

1. "unnecessaryness" is not a word.
2. This is hardware related. There is a proper forum for this.

Mods/Admins could this please be moved to the proper forum?

Thanks. 3337, please keep all hardware discussions in the hardware forum(s).

I believe it. Kev is back as liberty something or other.

Plus I'm not willing to believe that he had the foresight to create an account years ago just to come back to after he got banned multiple times. That's giving him waaaaay too much credit.

C'mon lads, if i had feckall money to upgrade to current gen hardware i would argue that my 486DX2 is well upto the standards of todays computers.




Ok maybe i wouldn't.

Another MYTH, look at my components and you will see that I had the money to downgrade, but I CHOSE to remain loyal to AGP instead. Ill go so far as to say I could have gotten a PCI-E motherboard and higher end PCI-E ATI or Nvidia video card along with with Core 2 Duo (French) E7200 for the same price as Carl AS Rock Weathers and the superior AGP , but I chose AGP because it is clearly Old School superior.

Your obviously just a casual DIY computer builder...not an enthusiast. An enthusiast would take PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0 any time over a AGP motherboard. Hardware manufacturers dont build components to go backwards, they look at creating new hardware that is relevant to todays and future components such as graphic cards. AGP is no longer mainstream, it is obsolete. The reason they create 'newish' components to fit 'older' hardware is a little thing called money. They realise that not everyone is an enthusiast and as a result milk the old cow so to speak.

You talk about graphic card manufacturers creating the equivelant of a gtx 260/280 on AGP....well ok even if they do it wont be before there are newer maybe PCI-E 3.0 graphic cards that are double the power of the GTX 260/280. Sorry dude but you are so LAST GEN.

You hit the nail on the head when you said old school. A PS2 is backwards compatible to PS1 game but a PS3 isnt (correct me if im wrong)....does that make the PS2 better than the PS3? absolutley not.
