Are there AGP cards that work on PCIe 16x slots as well ???

Please pardon my ignorance, but i am being made to believe by a friend that there are some pcie compatible agp cards. U can plug it into a pcie slot. It'll work albeit with some performance degradation.

My friend asserts that his Asus 6600 GT (AGP) is a dual compatible one and assures me that he has tested it successfully on a pcie 16x slot on someone's computer.

He further confirmes that its written on the cover of the box of his card that the card is designed to run perfectly with the next generation pcie bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of agp 8x delievering over 4gb/s in both upstream and downstream data transfers. Its sli as well and pcie express certified.

Summary : So do we have any Dual Compatible graphics cards which can be used on both AGP 8x and PCIe 16x. What i am saying is .. u pull it from an agp slot.. and plug it into a pcie slot ??

Sounds too good to be true. Is it really so ?

No, pci-e card is not compatible with a agp slot and vice versa. Ur friend must have some wrong information. Maybe someone is telling him these thing and he in turn telling it to u. Tell him to search the net and he would find the answer.
There are few motherboard which have both agp as well as pci-e slot. One such board I remember is Foxconn 915PL7AE-8S, read about it in DIGIT mag.

@John: Another one I remember is something like Asrock 939 Dual SATA2 for the AMD platform. It has both AGP as well as PCI-express slot.

agp slot cards are physically unable to fit in a pci-e slot.

@Techguru: The only model that Rashi distributes in India is the XXX version, model no: PV-T42G-UAD7. Not sure about the price though. Different places have different prices. I too am targeting that one next month.

ONLY HOPE,THAT IS THE CASE, for I have ordered for a 6800GS from RASHI-Mumbai & that have been currently delivered & is deposited at my Dealer's ofice(YET NOT SEEN,NOR DTLD CHKD).

So,IF Rashi sells only the XFX 6800GS "XXX" Edition in India & My ONE is that........then all "GHEE-SHAKAR" to You Buddy.

Can Only tell by tomorrow,what actually is the case!

Why don't you check the model number and see if it matches with the one mentioned above?

Please inform us which one you got and the price. I am looking forward to it.
