Graphics Upgrade

Is there any way to use a PCI Express graphics card in a AGP motherboard? I was wondering if there is any way to fit a PCI express graphics card into a motherboard designed for AGP cards. Is there a convertor or something? Is there performance implications - I realise it won't be as good as putting into PCI motherboard but would it acyually make much difference. Wife bought it for me without checking and don't really have cash to shell out for new board/processor.

Why doesn't my AGP video card work with my motherboards AGP input? Hey, i've recently upgraded my video card from my Nvidia GeForce 5500 FX (AGP) to a ATI Sapphire HD 2400 PRO (AGP). http://umart.com.au/newindex2.phtml?bid=4 - These are the specs for my card and it says that it's AGP 4X/8X compatible. My motherboards also says "AGP 8x/4x (1.5V)", these are its specs - http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00069442&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&product=436281 This website also says that my card is 1.5v so it should be compatible with my motherboard shouldn't it? http://www.playtool.com/pages/agpcompat/agp.html (My video card has the same connectors as the left one) So when i plug in my new card and turn on my pc all the fans spin (including the one ont he video card) but nothing displays and the fans don't slow down like they normally do once it's started the bios so i figure they're not compatible :S So far I've, Reset the bios settings Changed the bios setting to both AGP and onboard graphics as its default display Checked the graphics card for dust Pushed the graphics card as far in as it goes Checked for an external power connector on the video card (it has none) Checked if i have enough power going to my video card (Definately - 400W) Used my onboard VGA port while the video card is in (Same result - no display) Updated my chipset but that does nothing because the pc won't even power up lol. Tested my video card on another motherboard (intel), it worked perfectly so the video card isn't stuffed So from this I think it's just not compatible even though the specs say it should be? If anyone knows why i would appreciate your answer :) TY guys

My Motherboard supports AGP graphics cards. How do I know if it can support PCI Express?

Help, need AGP graphics card to fix my pc? The graphics card on my main PC just died and I need to replace it. I can't afford a new Motherboard as well so it needs to be an AGP card and it needs to be able to cope with reasonably demanding games (think Battlefield 2, Total War, Sims 2) and if at all possible power 2 monitors (not essential as I can get a crappy PCI card for the second one). I'm thinking under £100 price wise. The one that broke was an ATI Radeon 9800XT so preferably something at least as good as that as. I've had a look around the net for ideas but it's been a while since I looked at computer parts and i'm kinda outta touch with what's worth having and what's not. Thanks for your help :-)

PCI or AGP Graphics card and slot? I have a custom desktop (it was made by someone I know) and so it is not of any specific brand so I cannot ask questions based on brand/model etc. Anyway, to the point, I am wanting to upgrade the graphics card, currently it has the ASUS A9250/TD/128 which is a 128mb 64bit graphics card. I have done some research, and from what I gathered, AGP cards have 1 notch (2 segments of contacts) in the contact prong area, whereas PCI (not PCI-E) have 2 notches (3 segments). Now from the research I did, my ASUS card is an AGP card, but it has 2 notches...not one. I do not want to buy the wrong graphics card, so could you please tell me what kind of slot I have and which card to buy (AGP or PCI based on the info I gave). Just to let you know, I am not looking to upgrade my motherboard just so I can get a better graphics card (PCI-E), I only want to upgrade the graphics card. I have looked at graphics cards and I found one AGP that would be suitable, but it seems PCI cards are harder to find. Anyway, any information would be much appreciated. thanks for answers, I was wondering more along the lines of is my slot AGP or PCI cuz the card that's in it now is AGP, but it looks like a PCI with the 2 notches in the contacts.

What do you all think about this AGP graphics Card? Hey guys. I have an older motherboard with an AGP slot and was wondering what you guys think about the HIS 3850 with 512 megs of DDR3 memory. It has an IceQ fan attached to it and I believe its the fastest AGP out on the market. Have any of you tried it out or have any past good or bad experience with HIS? I really don't want to upgrade my whole system and just want an AGP card that will be killer fast. I know PCI-e is much faster but I really wanna fix up this rig only. Do you know of another AGP card that is faster? Any advice would be greatly appriciated. Thanks. Specs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161226
